Question
What plans does the Minister have to further support Welsh grassroots music venues?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
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.
