The UK government has released a list of 135 British music venues which will be the first to receive emergency grants taken from the £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund. These grants will form the Emergency Grassroots Music Venues Fund, and divide £3.36 million between the venues; each will receive up to £80,000 to cover their various expenses until paying concert-goers return.
Oliver Dowden, the UK Culture Secretary, explained: ‘This Government is here for culture and these grants show we are determined to help our exceptional music industry weather the COVID storm and come back stronger. Grassroots music venues are where the magic starts and these emergency grants from our £1.57 billion fund will ensure these music venues survive to create the Adeles and Ed Sheerans of the future’.
