Youth Music Initiative Demo Fund
Funding of up to £6 000 for studios to record with young bands...
The Demo Fund is part of the Youth Music Initiative’s Independent Music Making programme.
Applications are welcome from professional studios, or organisations willing to partner with a studio, for up to £6000 to help young musicians record a high quality demo.
The Demo Fund will help emerging young bands record their first demo, allowing them to take the next step in their music careers by presenting themselves professionally to the music industry. The aim is to target young musicians who are making music in an unsupervised capacity.
There is a change to the application process for 2010/11, instead of specific deadlines for the Demo Fund we have moved to Fast Track applications, which means we are accepting applications anytime until 10th January 2011.
Funds available
A total of £70,000 is available to be distributed
Level of grants
£1,000 - £6,000 per application
Who Can Apply
The Demo Fund is primarily for professional recording studios with a proven track record of working with high class professional musicians.
Other organisations are also eligible to apply, for example rehearsal spaces, venues, local authority arts officers, youth or music organisations but must demonstrate a strong partnership with a professional recording studio.
How to Apply
All the guidelines and application forms relevant for the Demo Fund are available on the music funding for organisations webpage. Link
