The PRS Foundation is offering grants towards one-off performances of live electronic music through its unique Live Connections scheme in October.
Live Connections offers funding for one-off performances of live electronic music taking place in 2009. Substantial awards of up to £5,000 are available for each event to UK-based artists, promoters and producers.
The PRS Foundation encourages applications that demonstrate innovation in the live presentation of music.
Vanessa Reed, director of the PRS Foundation said: ‘We are proud to run this very specific scheme for live performance of electronic music. In previous years the most interesting projects have combined astounding music with unusual venues and strong visual presentation.’
Live Connections is the UK’s only funding scheme focused on supporting live performances of electronic music.
Former Live Connections award holder Photon Hex said: ‘The award from the PRS Foundation provided us with an invaluable opportunity to plan a much more ambitious event than otherwise would have been possible. The positive response from our audience suggests that there is a strong potential for more events of this nature.’
Other successful applicants include Evan Parker, Leafcutter John at Beaconsfield and QuJunktions.
Application deadline: Friday 17 October 2008.
