be promoting at least 8 events over a 12 month period (Making Music music clubs must be promoting at least 3 concerts during this period)

be programming innovative, ground breaking new British music of any genre - by innovative we mean artists that are making interesting new music that doesn't sound like anything else

remember to tell us as much about the music in your forthcoming events as possible

Note for promoters of GROUND BREAKING and INNOVATIVE new/unsigned bands
The PRS for Music Foundation wishes to support unsigned band promoters who are taking a more strategic approach to the development of their artists. We expect promoters to be assisting artists to reach the next stage of their careers, rather than just giving them an opportunity to perform. Therefore it is essential that you demonstrate that you can offer several of the following:

links to the music industry and/or other promoters which will provide new opportunities for your artists

provision of songwriting/performance/music industry workshops

programmes of workshops that lead to performances

mentoring schemes

unsigned/new bands integrated into your programme alongside established artists
