April Towers, False Advertising, Flight Brigade and John Joseph Brill are among the latest acts to receive support from PRS for Music Foundation’s Flash Funding.
The four artists will benefit from the second edition of the new initiative, this time presented with Wigwam Acoustics and Musicians’ Union. Flash Funding is a way for the organisation to 'deliver targeted support to music creators quickly and directly' with quick turn-around times from application to support.
All four will have access to bespoke monitoring packages (such as in-ear monitoring, microphones, control systems) worth up to £10k to ensure consistently great sound across live dates, plus advice and training on touring, promotional support and an additional £375 each for touring costs.
Joseph Frankland, senior grants and programmes manager at PRS for Music Foundation said: ‘Congratulations to the four successful artists receiving this latest version of Flash Funding. We received close to 100 applications in 72 hours which is an incredible response and highlights the need for this type of support for emerging artists in the live sector.
‘I look forward to seeing how this support will transform the live shows of April Towers, False Advertising, Flight Brigade and John Joseph Brill, and make a real impact on their careers.’
According to the Foundation, this round of Flash Funding will fast-track the winning artists’ careers at a crucial early stage – ensuring tours are as effective as possible. Additional mentoring and training from the partners ensures selected artists make the most of opportunities to build links with fans, promoters and venues across the UK.
