The Government is working closely with the live music sector to support an economically sustainable grassroots music sector. Following the Autumn Budget, we are continuing to support Art Council England’s (ACE’s) successful Supporting Grassroots Music fund which provides grants to grassroots music venues, recording studios, promoters and festivals of live and electronic music gig-goers across the UK.
The Government response to the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee’s report on grassroots music venues will be published soon. It will set out in further detail the Government’s position on working with industry to support the grassroots music sector.
