Headliners @FriendlyFires will join the party with a DJ set, while @thewombats, @RedRumClub, @nightcafeband play live amongst over 30 emerging artists from 12pm onwards.
For thirteen years, Sound City have defined one weekend in May as the focal point of new music discovery.
While the live music sector remains on an enforced hiatus, they’ve announced May’s rescheduled festival and conference to return in September 2020. soundcity.uk.com

We are delighted that @PRSforMusic has been able to find a way to avoid the proposed cuts to @PRSFoundation. The work the Foundation does in supporting Grassroots Music artists and venues has been a vital element within the ecosystem that creates new British talent.
There was grave concern across the sector that the proposed cut to funding from 2024 would have a significant negative impact on artists and venues still struggling to recover from the pandemic. @PRSFoundation @PRSforMusic
This new funding agreement across multiple years is excellent news and 100% the best decision by @PRSforMusic.

People working hard to do the right thing... good start to a Tuesday.

STATEMENT: RESPONSE TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING SUPPORT FOR HOSPITALITY & CULTURE

We welcome any announcement from Treasury that recognises the very serious situation facing grassroots music venues, and other cultural and hospitality spaces, operators and staff.
Regrettably today's announcement appears seems a woefully inadequate response to the reality of the position.
Through a local authority process, the Treasury appears to be offering grassroots music venues up to £6,000 (if they meet certain criteria). This sum is intended to mitigate losses for an as yet unknown period in which business has not just fallen, it has completely collapsed.

Grassroots Music Venues: Viable Long Term Businesses

'Grassroots Music Venues have faced a tough couple of decades.
2/ For the first time in twenty years, thanks to a combined effort by the sector itself, national government, local government, the music industry, artists, audiences, local communities and Music Venue Trust, 2019 was the first time since 2000 that the year finished with more…
3/ …trading grassroots music venues than it started.
This was a remarkable turn around, a fantastic concerted effort to make a sector that had become economically unsustainable viable once again. To achieve that, all sorts of steps had to be taken.
