Iron Road Live

On the 10th October the unthinkable happened and the world lost one of the most caring and kindest people you could meet. One of the truly good guys.

It was through his talent as the front man of Wolf Jaw that we first met lighting up the stage in the early days of The Iron Road. An impact that never faded leading them to be the first band we signed to Iron Road Talent Management.

We had huge plans for the future and were so excited to hit the road next month, but his biggst plans were for his young family, who are now trying to deal with his sudden loss at just 33 years of age. Please help us help them in any way you can.

The Iron Road, 2014-2020, Over 1800 bands played more than 1500 of them original bands. Very nearly £1million paid to bands in gig fees. Is such a grass roots music venue worth saving, YOU DECIDE!!

So let's state the simple fact. Out of 13000 people who like this page we need to find just 950 people that the survival of The Iron Road is worth £100 to, or 1900 people with £50 etc etc. If we make this The Iron Road Live will keep bringing the live music for another 10 years at least.

Save The Iron Road Live The Iron Road Live is staring at PERMANENT closure due to the pandemic. Help us keep the music live and bring happiness to the fans!

Iron Road Live updated their business hours.

To all the Bands, Managers, Promoters and Booking Agents

We desperately need your help.

In the space of 6 years, 2014-2020 The Iron Road hosted over 1800 bands, over 1500 of them ORIGINAL MUSIC, paying fees to bands totalling over half a million pounds.

Now due to Covid it faces permanent closure without raising £95000 a figure that would secure a lease for 10 years and bring the venue up to date. Would your business donating £100 really be a donation or simply an investment in a decade of gig fees, burgers and beers?

Please read our Crowdfunder pitch and help us if you agree.

As the mighty Metal God himself, Rob Halford, is a Wolf Jaw fan the lads covered You've Got Another Thing Coming as a bonus track on the re-release of their first album Starting Gun. When the great man said ....
"Hey guys thank you for your great interpretation and for making it special by capturing the Wolf Jaw spirit!
All the very best
Rob"
We figured we best release it as a single, check it out.

Announcement!

A few weeks ago I said I was going to make an announcement about the future of The Iron Road following Covid, I didn't at the time in the end because I still wasn't happy with what continuing would mean.

As the business received no government support at all due to the timing of the pandemic close to having just moved premises, by October I knew the business had no way to be in the financial position to continue, I thought I had come to terms with that. Then as restrictions started to ease I was gutted The Iron Road wasn't part of the reopening. Nearly as gutted as many of you I have spoken with.

I planned to announce I would start a Crowdfunder in order to raise the funds necessary to get reopen, that at the time was my only focus. However the more I thought about it the more unhappy I became with the idea. When in Evesham, The Iron Road, became highly regarded because the sound quality exceeded all expectations for the venue and the atmosphere was incredible, every customer was part of a family of music lovers. As soon as the venue moved to a temporary home it lost this atmosphere and I lost control of certain parts of the business that are very important to me. I can no longer continue in a temporary home, to give the full Iron Road customer experience we either need to control all aspects of the business or I close the business for good and walk away with some amazing memories.

So .....

During lockdown I have learnt so much about what is achievable when the goal is to make entering a room a fully immersible experience, The Iron Road led the way with it's Livestream last July and in my opinion no one managed to improve on what it delivered, however I know how it could have been improved. If The Iron Road is to continue it will only be as a state of the art facility for the modern age, joining together the production values for a live performance and those of a TV studio to bring a customer experience that you feel completely immersed in, using audio/video technology to take the atmosphere to new levels, whilst still being completely focused on being a LIVE MUSIC venue.

Add to this the quality products on the bar, staff that share your love of live music, the after parties and let's not forget the Big Buns Burgers ;)

I can only achieve this in a permanent home, I have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure that this can be delivered and design the venue. Next week I will release a walkthrough rendering of how the venue will look and then the following week the Crowdfunder campaign will start. If the required funds are raised I look forward to seeing you at the bar, if not I'm sure we will have a beer and share some memories at someone else's.

Much Love!
Muttley xx

GOOD LUCK 🤞

This Saturday at 8pm UK Metal Merger will stream, 12 bands over 4 hours entertaining you with the goal of raising money for the live touring crews who have had no work for over a year. Many of these people were not able to receive furlough or any grants and are being lost to the industry, we can't afford to keep losing them if we want live touring to bounce back to where it was.

You may think with lockdown relaxing and social distancing ending in June everything is now fine, this is not the case, most of these people's work relies on international tours the big acts can't afford to come to the UK alone and Europe are months behind the UK in reaching the end of the pandemic, so these tours will still not take place until well into 2022.

Please watch and donate whatever you can or if you can't watch please donate anyway to help the industry we all love. www.buymeacoffee.com/ukmetalmerger

🚨BIG NEWS!🚨

Firstly, we’re at 84% of our Kickstarter for our new album! If you want in on some exclusive merch and rewards for pledging early HIT THIS LINK - http://kck.st/3ftzf5D

Secondly, we have a BIG announcement coming really soon! 💪⚡️💪⚡️ THIS IS GONNA BE GOOOOD!

THE IRON ROAD LIVE - POST COVID

This is basically an announcement to announce an upcoming announcement on Friday 9th April.

When we closed on March 14th 2020 we were not too worried as we were in the financial position to last until August, as the pandemic situation worsened we asked for help and thanks to those that bought a ticket to, "the event that will never happen" we were then ok until October 2020.

As we got deeper in obviously things looked dire and by December we were of the opinion The Iron Road Live had come to it's end.

However we are hungry and ready to carry on, we will make an announcement next Friday about how that may be possible, we just need to look at everything that will be required. We just wanted to let you know that we haven't given up yet.

Wolf Jaw have been working incredibly hard writing, writing, writing and the results are so exciting. The guys have done all they could during the pandemic controlling the one thing they could control, their music.

The album is ready to be recorded but they need your help now to get the project completed and in your hands. Have a look through the incredible choices of pledges and grab yourself your choice of fuzzy awesomeness!

We'd like all of you to send Best Wishes to a great friend to The Iron Road and massive supporter of original rock music. We got to know Samantha Tomlin when she promoted her Oxrox live events and she is a lovely and fun woman.

Unfortunately she was taken ill with Covid at the end of January and is now in an induced coma in hospital as she battles this horrible virus.

Get well soon Sam, see you at the bar 💞🤘
