We all know that the grassroots is the engine room of our music culture. Whether it’s rehearsal spaces, recording studios, festivals, promoters, and of course the important venues where new sounds meet their first crowds.
That’s why Arts Council England and DCMS have reopened their Grassroots Music Fund. This is about securing the sustainability of the sector which is helping the grassroots industry develop talent, grow audiences, and keep music alive in local communities.
The process has never been easier too! Download their application form here
If you’re running a grassroots space, now is the time to apply. This fund has already helped transform the live music landscape, so let’s make sure more of our grassroots can benefit.

Rotten Apple is the first play in the Windows of a Woman trilogy, premiering at Unity Theatre on 3rd and 4th December 2025.
Set in 1990s Manhattan, it follows a young woman from Liverpool chasing her dream of a bigger, brighter life. Hungry for more than her working-class beginnings could offer, she dives into the electric chaos of New York – rooftop parties, yellow taxis, jazz bars, and the thrill of love. But dreams aren’t always kind. When reality fractures her fantasy, she’s forced to confront the darkness hidden beneath the city’s shimmer.
With themes of mental health, class, love, and identity, Rotten Apple is a raw, poetic exploration of what it means to risk everything for a dream and how easily that dream can rot from the inside.
A bold new voice in feminist theatre, this debut piece asks: what happens when the window of youth slams shut?

People’s Powerhouse is setting out on a unique and exciting coast-to-coast journey from the northwest to the northeast, celebrating people power along the way. They will be bringing Northerners together, exploring community strengths, listening to what you would like to see more, or less of, in your communities.
They will be hosting get-togethers where you can join group conversations about your community, or about the things that matter to you, as well as meet new people involved in local projects. By weaving together your voices they will build a collective Northern voice that recognises the power of people coming together. They’ll be amplifying your great ideas, brilliant projects and pressing issues to powerful decision makers at our infamous ‘This is the North’ Annual Convention in November and beyond.
