A fund has been launched to ensure the survival of grassroots music venues in England that are struggling to survive as a result of the coronavirus outbreak and resulting lockdown.
The Emergency Grassroots Music Venues Fund is intended to help England’s live music venues that are at imminent risk of insolvency because of trading restrictions caused by coronavirus (COVID-19). This initiative forms part of a £1.57 billion government funding package to protect the UK’s culture and heritage sector during the pandemic.
