What plans does the Minister have to further support Welsh grassroots music venues?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism | Answered on 04/09/2023
Since its launch in 2020, Creative Wales has invested just under £9m in music venues, recording studios, rehearsal spaces and suppliers. Applications are currently being assessed for a new Music Capital Fund of £200,000 for live music venues with larger scale capital projects.
We also funded a bespoke skills project run by the Music Venue Trust for Welsh grassroots venues to provide them with the tools for success.
