Funk rock London band Night Engine are headlining the first of music development agency Generator’s first Mapped Out show, on at the Zephyr Lounge on the third date of its 12-date tour around the country.

Working with Liverpool Sound City, High Rhythm, Music South West, Community Music East and Clare Edwards from the West Midlands, Generator is bringing performers to the stage who have been plugged by live music agents.

The venture was created on the back of a study by Arts Council England, which suggested that emerging talents are finding it difficult to tour because there are not enough regional promoters.

Generator has formed a ‘map’ of the regions where this is a problem and devised this tour in an attempt to tackle it.

Chief executive Jim Mawdsley said: “We are very excited about turning out attention to the live sector on a national level. I am confident that this programme will succeed and more opportunities for our rich emerging talent to tour the nation will come from it.”

Doors open at 7.30pm. www.wegottickets.com/mappedout
