The performances and NN Social show will be broadcast online across multiple streaming platforms.

Hannah Felce, who co-manages The Lab with Gemma Murdoch, said: “With help from funding from The Arts Council and the extra talented folks at NN1 Audio, we have been making sure people can still perform and that we are giving opportunities to those in the tech side of the industry.

“The guys at NN1 Audio - who would usually be filling stadiums with light, sound and joy - have pulled together to support local musicians and keep bringing people music.
