Accessibility.

We believe music should be accessible for Disabled artists and fans. There is lots of work to do to make this happen.

 

For bands like us, playing gigs often means playing smaller venues that do not have good accessibility. When we are a support act, we are not involved in choosing the venue. It's difficult when we are offered support shows that are important to play, if the venue accessibility isn't good.

 

This is a problem not only because of our own access needs, but also because of our Disabled fans who cannot always attend our shows due to inaccessible venues.

​

The more we grow, the bigger an impact we can have. With our own headline shows, we have much more control over the event and we only play the most accessible venues possible. We are making noise about this issue behind closed doors and we are working on what more we can do in terms of campaigning and what leverage we have as a support act.

 

We have included the section below to highlight accessibility information for each of the venues we are playing. This information has been taken directly from venue websites where possible. When a venue has not published their accessibility information, we get in touch with them directly which informs the information below.

 

​If you have any questions about accessibility at our upcoming shows, please do not hesitate to contact us via mallavoraband@outlook.com.

LIGHT SHOW

We bring a custom light show to our live performances. This consists of LED tubes that pulse in time with the music (no strobe). The frequency of the pulses is limited to 5Hz and the brightness is not intense. If you are photosensitive and would like to see a video of these lights before attending one of our shows, please send us an email at mallavoraband@outlook.com. For those who would find it helpful, we provide sunglasses free of charge at our merch desk at all of our shows.
