Jamie Isaac, Yola Carter, LA Salami and Hannah Scott are among the latest acts to receive funding through the PRS for Music Foundation’s International Showcase Fund (ISF).

Isaac and LA Salami have been supported to perform at the upcoming Reeperbahn showcase in Germany, alongside other grantees ephemerals, Flight Brigade, George Cosby and Soom T.

Carter has been selected to appear at AmericanaFest alongside William the Conqueror and Robert Vincent.

Scott will travel to annual business summit and festival Mondo NYC with other successful grantee Organised Scum.

The ISF offers support to artists based in England who have been invited to play at international showcasing festivals and conferences.

Grants of up to £5,000 help to cover the costs of travel, visas and accommodation.

The Foundation’s Impact Report, which covers the period of 2013 to 2016, shows that for every £1 invested by the fund, an additional £8.90 has been generated for its beneficiaries – delivering nearly a nine-fold return on investment.

The International Showcase Fund is a partnership between PRS for Music Foundation, British Underground, UKTI, Arts Council England, Musician’s Union and Pledge Music.
