The event brings with it a chance to find out more about crucial funding available for the grassroots music sector.
A boost for music creatives
Grassroots music venues, rehearsal and recording studios, along with promoters and festivals, play an vital role in the music ecosystem.
They offer musicians the essential platforms to perfect their craft, experiment with new musical directions, build their audience, and experience the invaluable feedback from live performances.
Rosey will be talking about how those connected to the music scene on the Island can apply for support from the Grassroots Music fund, which is open until March 2025.
