More Information about the award ::

This money could be used for anything from a live PA as part of a club night or as a small part of the funding towards a grander scale event. Applicants can be individual artists or collaborators but they do need to be working closely with a promoter/organisation/club or with a sound system that will help them deliver their chosen performance.

Previous recipients of Live Connections grants including: Kreepa,
Brian Duffy, Plaid, Adam Freeland, London Elektricity and I am the
Mighty Jungulator
, have been able to put on dynamic and unusual
performances, from electro-acoustic installations to full-on techno
and breakbeat events.

“Thanks to support from The PRS Foundation we were able to rehearse
and promote our show extensively which contributed to us selling out
the Jazz Café in Camden on a Tuesday night! We devised a method of
playing our drum and bass show completely live, because it became
clear when we were rehearsing that relying on playback from computers
or sequencers would take away some of the energy and excitement of the
live performance. Although I was a bit nervous about delivering a
completely live performance I think it really paid off as we had a
fantastic response from the audience. We aimed to break new ground in
live electronic music with our show and, with the help of the PRS
Foundation, we definitely succeeded.”
» Tony Colman, London Elektricity
