A new pilot fund that limits the risk
for promoters and bands
putting on original live music in Cardiff.
Cardiff Music City is excited to rollout a new pilot scheme to support promoters in small and grassroots music venues in the city. ALLBWN / OUTPUT will provide a guarantee against loss of up to £1000*. Designed to increase the number of gigs in the city this scheme will be open to new promoters as well as those who already have a proven track record. It will also be open to local bands who would like to put on self-promoted gigs.
*Please note that terms and conditions are applicable.
Objectives for OUTPUT
- To encourage new promoters to take their first steps in the business without the having to bear all the financial risk.
- To allow more established promoters to branch out either by scaling up in terms of venue or by experimenting with a different genre.
- To enable local bands to build a following by facilitating self-promoted events.
- To broaden the offer of live and original music.
- To increase the number of live music events in the city.
ALLBWN / OUTPUT will work by mitigating the financial risk associated with promoting Grassroots music events. Costs such as venue higher, PA and band fees will be covered by an agreed guarantee against loss meaning that if ticket sales do not reach the required level to cover these costs, we will make up the balance.
