Amplify London: Supporting Music in the Hub

In times of unfortunate circumstances and unfamiliarity, London Music Fund and YouTube Music have provided funding to five organisations from Amplify London in an aid to support musicians within our vital grassroot venues and organisations.

Music has the power to transform lives and these grants will inspire the next generation of musicians and support our vital grassroots organisations at a time when they need it the most.

With this support present from UK Music and Music Venue Trust, it is often reassuring to see so many organisations supporting grass-root venues and musicians who have been affected most throughout this crisis.
