Working and early-career musicians across the UK can apply for grants of £500 to £1,000 to support significant live performance opportunities taking place within six months, including tours, festivals, showcases and support slots. Funding can cover travel, accommodation, rehearsals, equipment, production and marketing costs, with successful applicants also receiving a two-hour career clinic. Applicants should normally earn at least 40% of their income from music over the previous two years, reduced to 20% for those with a long-term health condition or disability, and must have some control over their career. Applications close at 5pm on 9 October 2026. The funding is being provided by Help Musicians through Fast Track Live.
