As a result of their work, vast improvements have been made to live music accessibility and the number of disabled people attending gigs has grown to almost 4 million each year.
Suzanne Bull MBE, Chief Executive of Attitude is Everything said: “Club Attitude offers a perfect opportunity to showcase Attitude is Everything’s positive work and we are delighted to have TOY, one of this country’s most exciting young bands, headlining our event and supporting our aim for music without barriers.”
The Club Attitude line-up is completed by support slots from Brighton-based four-piece The Magic Gang, one of NME’s hot tips for 2015, and Bedford duo Hulkenburg who promise “beards and brutality, riffs and mayhem”. The night will also feature guest DJ sets, to be announced soon.
