Recently, major artists like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
