A Nantwich record shop will be striking a chord in January as Applestump Records plans a week-long series of live gigs to celebrate Independent Venue Week 2026, writes Jonathan White.
The shop on Oatmarket will transform into a cosy micro-venue between January 26-31, welcoming audiences to live shows up close in one of the town’s most creative spaces.
The special programme will showcase grassroots music and rising talent from across the region, alongside special guest performances.
It’s part of the national Independent Venue Week celebration, which highlights the importance of small, independent spaces in supporting new artists and local music communities.
The first show featuring acclaimed folk artist Amelia Coburn has already sold out.
More artists and event details are set to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Steve Cook, owner of Applestump Records, said: “Independent Venue Week is a reminder of just how important small, grassroots spaces are for artists and communities alike.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring a full week of live music to Nantwich and to support the musicians who make our scene so special.”
Since opening, Applestump Records has become a hub for local music lovers, hosting regular gigs and collaborating on creative community projects in the town.
Details of the full performance line-up and ticket information will be announced via the Applestump Records website and social media channels (@applestumprecords).
