Our Mission

The Live Music Project aims to strengthen the live music scene by helping musicians and venues connect, develop opportunities and achieve more together.

We want to understand the ambitions and challenges of musicians, bands and music venues, and explore practical ways to help them progress. That means listening to the people involved, building relationships, creating opportunities and finding ways to bring the right people together.

We believe a thriving live music scene benefits everyone involved. Musicians need opportunities to perform, develop their audiences and take their music further. Venues need to attract audiences, put on successful events and build sustainable live music programmes. Connecting those needs can create opportunities that might not otherwise happen.

The Live Music Project will develop in response to the people it serves, focusing on ideas and initiatives that make a meaningful contribution to live music.

Our aim is to help live music thrive by creating opportunities for the people who make it happen.
