Grassroots music | Artist support | Casual income
Music is your passion. Supporting you is ours.
Grassroots music survives on community, not margin. Yuubee helps venues & artists unlock on-going digital support, so you can keep the lights on, keep creating, and keep live music alive.
For grassroots musicians:
Make it easy for fans to support you
When cash is gone and costs keep rising, you need a simple way for your community to help, without extra admin.
Supporters can give instantly via QR codes and links, with transparent tracking and compliant reporting built in.
It removes spreadsheets, cash handling and reporting stress, so support becomes repeatable rather than one-off fundraising pushes.
What changes for venues:
Always-on support: a dedicated venue QR code fans can use in-venue, online and on socials
Clarity you can trust: real-time visibility of what came in and what was paid out
No heavy setup: no hardware, no long contracts, no complex integrations
A new model of support for independent music!
If streaming is your main income, you’re doing it the hard way. Yuubee helps you turn real-world moments into real support from the people who already back you.
Perfect for bands, groups and collaborative projects.
Fans scan your QR code. They tip instantly. You see it straight away.
A clear wallet, simple payouts, and a smarter way to build income across gigs, merch tables and socials.
Get set up fast with ready made venue promo kits
Support only works if people see it. Yuubee gives you plug-and-play templates you can drop straight into your venue, from posters and table cards to social assets.
Educate the team once, place the QR where it matters and your community can support you in instantly.

That simplifies tax returns and keeps you on track with your HMRC responsibilities. Check out our Guides and Resources to understand your responsibilities.
