>> TO ALL THE JOURNALISTS AND RADIO-CONTROLLING-PEOPLE
>>
>>
>> YOUR ARTISTS NEED YOU!
>>
>>
>> This year the PRS (Performing Rights Society) Foundation has
>> broadened the scope of its Live Connections scheme by offering grants
>> of between £500 - £5000 to electronic music artists, for a one-off
>> performance of their work. This grant has been available for a few
>> years, and the levels of applications are worryingly low, especially
>> from musicians outside of the London area. We are looking for small
>> news pieces and radio mentions so we can let more people know about
>> this wonderful opportunity to indulge their artistic talents,
>> increase the diversity of UK culture, and get paid for it.
>>
>>
>> More Information about the award:
>>
>>
>> This money could be used for anything from a live PA as part of a
>> club night or as a small part of the funding towards a grander scale
>> event. Applicants can be individual artists or collaborators but they
>> do need to be working closely with a promoter/organisation/club or
>> with a sound system that will help them deliver their chosen
>> performance.
>>
>>
>> Previous recipients of Live Connections grants including: Kreepa,
>> Brian Duffy, Plaid, Adam Freeland, London Elektricity and I am the
>> Mighty Jungulator, have been able to put on dynamic and unusual
>> performances, from electro-acoustic installations to full-on techno
>> and breakbeat events.
>>
>>
>> "Thanks to support from The PRS Foundation we were able to rehearse
>> and promote our show extensively which contributed to us selling out
>> the Jazz Café in Camden on a Tuesday night! We devised a method of
>> playing our drum and bass show completely live, because it became
>> clear when we were rehearsing that relying on playback from computers
>> or sequencers would take away some of the energy and excitement of
>> the live performance. Although I was a bit nervous about delivering a
>> completely live performance I think it really paid off as we had a
>> fantastic response from the audience. We aimed to break new ground in
>> live electronic music with our show and, with the help of the PRS
>> Foundation, we definitely succeeded.”
