About 01507
Made in Louth. Shaped by its people. Powered by music.
What is 01507?
01507 is more than a music festival. It’s a grassroots movement built around the people, places and sounds of Louth.
Our town already has an incredible music scene, full of talented musicians, independent venues and people who love live music. But we believe there’s even more we can achieve when we work together.
01507 exists to connect the dots.
We’re creating opportunities for musicians to perform, collaborate, develop their skills and reach new audiences. We’re encouraging venues to work together, bringing music into unexpected spaces and inviting people to discover artists and places they might never have experienced before.
Through our annual Fringe Festival, year-round activity and 01507 Think Tank, we’re working with the local music community to understand what it needs, celebrate what makes it special and build something that lasts.
The festival producers
Meet Checkmate Productions
We’re Lizzie, Katie-Lou and Melissa, the local crew behind Checkmate Productions, a female-led event production company based right here in Louth.
Having grown up in Louth, we’ve always dreamed of bringing a music festival to our hometown, and now we’re making it happen!
With years of experience producing festivals, live music and community events across the UK, we’re bringing our passion and expertise back to where it all began. 01507 is about celebrating the incredible music, venues and people already on our doorstep, creating new opportunities and giving our town something to be proud of. For us, this one’s personal!
