Steven Horrocks. who runs the E Rooms, has also spoken about the challenges faced by grass-roots music venues today
A Skelmersdale music venue operator hopes a new home for arts and entertainment can be created in the town centre.
Steve said: “The Verve are associated with Wigan because they played they earlier gigs there. But they came from the Skelmersdale and Up Holland area. They emerged before the E-Rooms existed in Skelmersdale. But Simon is a big supporter of us. He has never forgotten where he comes from. ” Speaking at the E Rooms, Steve Horrocks said a railway was included in the original Skelmersdale new town plans, But that and some other proposals did not materialise, such as a Skelmersdale arts centre. However, Skelmersdale Library and the Nye Bevin Swimming Pool were built and remain today. Steve now hopes the swimming pool might be redeveloped for future arts and entertainment uses, if a new leisure centre is built elsewhere.
Free demo recordings re available for bands and an application to the Arts Council is under-way for the Future Sounds project, This aims to promote music industry, social media and stage presence skills.Steve said: “There’s a historic split between Skelmersdale and Ormskirk, and a perception that Ormskirk gets everything. I think that’s true in some ways but not others. Ormskirk has lots of town centre events.
