So we've looked at the rise of the scene and the decline afterwards, so where is our scene now. There's so many local events going on for artists now and we're starting to see artists break through again with Sam Fender and L Devine leading the charge. We speak to owner of Sunderland venue Independent Ben Richardson, label boss Nicola Coaker and Young Musicians Project leader Laura Brewis to find out where things are at in the local music scene and ask if the scene is truly in a good place.
