Bradford Producing Hub is offering emerging and early-career music promoters in the Bradford district application support for the Early Career Promoter Fund from the PRS Foundation, which provides grants of up to £3,500 alongside skills development.
The PRS Early Career Promoter Fund recognises the importance of independent promoters and offers grants of up to £3,500 alongside capacity-building support. We’ve partnered with Lucy Woolley to provide 5 promoters with personalised advice, guidance and feedback to support their applications. This fund is open now and there is a rolling monthly deadline for applications until February 2025.
The PRS Early Career Promoter Fund is designed to help emerging promoters to do what they do best – book and promote shows to develop scenes, support artists and DJs, reach and engage audiences, and build sustainable careers in the grassroots music sector. Those receiving support will be supported to book and promote talent at a scale beyond their current level and build their capacity, skills and networks.
Grants of up to £3,500 are available to support a range of activities, including:
- The booking, programming and promotion of gigs, concerts, club nights, showcases, tours and other performances
- Costs associated with those activities including venue hire, production, artist and/or DJ fees, crew fees, administration and other related costs
- Capacity building including mentoring, coaching, shadowing, workshops, masterclasses, and other skill-building and networking opportunities
- Other expenditure which helps grantees to programme a diverse range of artists, develop new audiences and build their skills
