Sally Barker

In June 2020 Sally uploaded a YouTube video of her re-imagining of the Tom Jones song 'It's

Not Unusual' to celebrate the venerable singer's 80thBirthday.   So far it has racked up 1.8

million views and divides opinion amongst fans of the Welshman's classic.  She subsequently released her slowed-down version, which highlights the mournful and yearning lyrics to give the song new meaning, as

a download single. The significance of this recording?  Sally was Tom's finalist on The Voice

UK in 2014 and although people mistakenly think she won, such was the impact she had on that

show, Sally walked away without the main prize coming in joint 2nd.

We’ve all missed live music and our friends over the last year: Now it's time to #ComeTogether and #ReviveLive

Music Venue Trust has teamed up with The National Lottery to help to #ReviveLive music in grassroots music venues across the UK this summer with a fantastic lineup of tours, one-off events and special performances. And it's all about bringing friends and communities back together.

The National Lottery is supporting artists and crews to get out playing grassroots music venues in front of audiences... back where they are meant to be! You can check out the full range of events below. Bookmark this page and remember to check back regularly as shows are announced right across Summer 2021.

But live music venues aren't just about the shows. Live music is about bringing people together, celebrating that moment, that band, that song, together.

MVT and The National Lottery want to invite you to create new moments of shared experience with your family, friends and communities because we understand the important role music plays in bringing people together. So for every National Lottery Revive Live Tour event, we are inviting every ticket holder to bring a plus one FOR FREE!

All you need to do to qualify for this offer is to show proof that one of you is a National Lottery player, either by showing us a physical lottery ticket, or one within your National Lottery app.

Book one ticket, invite one friend, bring one proof of being a National Lottery player, and get two tickets for the price of one. Every ticket, every show!

Who is the person you have missed going to gigs with the most? Who is the person you want to celebrate the return of live music with? Secure your ticket and let us know on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #ReviveLive and #ComeTogether
