Heavy Pop: Brown Horse (Independent Venue Week)
Independent Venue Week (IVW) is the long-running 7-day celebration of independent music and arts venues and the people that own, run and work in them.
The event returns in 2026 for its 13th edition between Monday 26th January and Sunday 1st February, with hundreds of venues expected to take part up and down the UK, encouraging fans to come out in the depths of winter, show support for their local scene, and enjoy a live gig or show.
Brown Horse
'Wonderous... On this evidence, they’re set to run and run.' UNCUT
Brown Horse is a six-piece country rock band from Norwich, England, known for blending 90s alternative rock with 70s folk and country sounds.
Originally forming as a four-piece folk band in 2018, they expanded to their current lineup before releasing their debut album Reservoir in January 2024 on Loose Music, followed by their second critically acclaimed album, All The Right Weaknesses, in April 2025.
The band is characterized by its collaborative songwriting process, which results in a cohesive sound despite individual contributions, and a live performance style that emphasizes both raw energy and thoughtful arrangements.
