"The 150-capacity venue has been hosting live gigs seven nights a week since the 1970s, with the late Pogues frontman Shane McGowan being a regular there. Although known for giving an opportunity to artists starting out, it's also where James Bay filmed his music video for 'If You Ever Want To Be In Love', and has hosted performances by Frank Turner and Imelda May."
"In a Grade II-listed building dating back to the 1800s, the iconic grassroots venue has previously received funding from the Music Venue Trust. The Fiddler's is now listed on Rightmove for a whopping £1.75 million. In the listing it's described as an 'award-winning grassroots music venue' with 'redevelopment potential' of the upstairs rooms. The venue is being sold as the current owners are retiring."
"The pub sent out an appeal on Instagram looking for the right buyer - ie someone that would keep the grassroots music spirit of the venue alive. 'We are looking for owners who want to keep the legacy going and invest in keeping grassroots spaces alive. The Fiddlers Elbow has been a staple and heart of the community, and is a home for many artists,' the venue said in the social media post."
