The Gliderdrome is known for hosting early gigs for acts like Elton John, Jimi Hendrix and T-Rex.
He's told BBC Radio Lincolnshire it's important to bring live music to small towns.
"In the past, a lot more bands used to tour more regionally in this country and it's a shame that seems to have dropped off.
"Over the last few years, I've had quite a few shows in towns like Wakefield, Scunthorpe or Bridgend or wherever and people have said nobody has been through for a while, and I think that's kind of cool."

One of the founders of Lincoln's annual Christmas market has decided not to set up a stall at the event for the first time since 1982.
FFN Neustadt, from Lincoln's German twin town of Neustadt, says high costs and low revenue meant they made a loss last year.
The company was one of the 11 stallholders at the first ever event in Lincoln.
President Werner Maas says they couldn't justify the journey.
City of Lincoln Council says it understands FFN's position and the significant overheads of travelling from Germany.
But the authority says it's looking forward to welcoming FFN back next year.
Quote MessageThe costs have been very high and we made not a profit but a loss, so we decided not to come. If you don't make a profit, that's OK, but if you make a loss that's not OK."
Werner Maas, President, FFN Neustadt

Plans to build the first mosque in Skegness have been approved by East Lindsey District Councillors, despite concerns from nearby residents over parking.
The authority’s planning committee voted in favour of Skegness Central Mosque Group’s plans, which include a community centre and four self-contained flats, which will be built next to the former Methodist Chapel on Roman Bank.
Applicant Naseer Iqbal told councillors he had purchased the site after more than 10 years with no interest and called it a “blot on the landscape”.
He said the new centre would serve all people, with part of the hall available to rent for public events.
He told councillors: “We are a small, peaceful community that needs a place to worship.”
Objectors said they were concerned about the impact on traffic, including congestion on Roman Bank and inadequate parking leading to an overspill into residential areas.
An arson attack on the site of the community centre earlier this year hit funding plans for the mosque.
