Question
Will the Minister confirm the number of grassroot music venues that have closed this year so far in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
We have not recorded the closure of any Grass Roots Music Venues in Wales this year 2024. On the contrary we are experiencing the opening of new venues. This is being made possible through Creative Wales’ continued support of the Music industry. That totals £9.6m since its inception in 2020.
