This Feeling and Music Venue Trust make the incredible happen regularly, mobilising an interdependent movement. Despite everything, it's ALL happening. "There's a golden age of guitar-music around the corner and we've got loads planned with scotts to keep the zone fires burning until our glorious venues re-open." - This Feeling founder, Mikey Johns.
Absolutely. Take the North West’s Crawlers - for instance. You can not deny that this band must fly;
This Feeling is the nation’s top new-music promoter with rock'n'roll life at heart. Their keen ears have zoned in on a brace of future heritage potential. TheZineUK has seen so many results already, that we’ve only been able to document a fraction! So get involved with all these names!
‘Big In 2021’ helps Music Venue Trust to #SaveOurVenues so we can feel the power in our sacred gig spaces again one day. I stick with my firm belief that MVT are the closest we come to people-first government with employment, economy, education and national and regional collusion in the mix.
It is inconceivable where we would be without them. Their achievements, saving our legendary grassroots trail of global repute are a future movie. "We all know that venues are more than just a place where bands perform: they create communities and form the backdrop for so many valued social interactions and shared life experiences. " (Music Venue Trust)
TheZineUK documentary would be a different story without actions and ethics of the newer wave of industrious. Annually we enjoy fresh faves at close range courtesy of This Feeling's awesome "Big In..." love ins. Hayley Mary's song, 'Would You Throw A Diamond?' is on this compilation. Another thriller on the gig-bucket-list already, check out her charisma in 'Brat'
No backhanders, payola or other old industry bollocks to get in with This Feeling. Big In 2021 celebrates an interdependent alliance partying under the radar. Usually. Now adapting rapidly.
This Feeling and Music Venue Trust have changed the narrative of the star maker grassroots venue circuit, home to the buzziest art punky community - ever - due to the new real life. This compilations’s selected artists are part of that and already making their mark.
Wrexham quartet, The Royston Club, admit; "We can't wait to get going this year. We’ve got loads of new music ready to go and a big announcement very soon. Obviously we’re desperate to play live, but until then we will be putting out music and recording. We’re really happy to be part of the This Feeling Big in 2021 vinyl with loads of other amazing bands, and the fact that all the profits are going to the Music Venue Trust makes it even better. We all need to do what we can to support grassroots venues until they can reopen their doors."

Ah, when those doors re-open! Unable to stage Big In 2021’ gigs around the country, this year, these songs bring the performance to you. This Feeling’s annual emerging artist list has become a go-to for the next generations of British/Irish alternative rock artists and audiences alike. It means more to some of us than mainstream awards and energises the circuit that has always fed the music industry.
2021. We’ve got our own world, stars and the next music industry in the Fertile Environment, so we’ll just crack on with rebuilding the future. What does “normal” mean any more? You can imagine Venus Grrrls performing their incredible ‘Goth Girl’ - live on a big stage, right?
Why shouldn't we all have pop music dreams forever? The DIY artpunky explosion at grassroots level is where promise and action bloom into music power. Even NOW.
#SaveOurVenues with 31 x Star Potential tunes x 2 Vinyl LPs x 500 copies = 1 potential Album Of The Year.
