The third round of funding supports 21 music venues, studios and businesses across Wales.
Twenty-one music venues, recording studios, rehearsal spaces and arts centres from across Wales have been awarded up to £40,000 each to boost their work and sustainability for their long-term success.
Now in its third round, Creative Wales’ Music Capital Fund (MCF), offers grants of between £10,000 and £40,000, totalling over £700,000 in this round, to small and medium music businesses, enabling them to identify areas of their work that would benefit from investment.
Successful applicants will use the funding to improve and increase their commercial outlook and sustainability, benefiting the wider music industry in Wales.
Notable recipients include Steffan Pringle Music in Rhondda Cynon Taf, which plans to create a top-of-the-line recording studio alongside a mixing and mastering room, and Musicbox Studios in Cardiff who will undertake refurbishment and environmental improvements as part of modernisation plans.
The funding also extends to venues and studios across the country, including Sain recording studio in Gwynedd, ROC2 Studios in Wrexham, CWRW in Carmarthenshire, and The Lost ARC in Powys.
The MCF forms part of the Welsh Government's broader commitment to supporting the creative industries across Wales. Music venues, recording studios, and related businesses play a vital role in the cultural and economic landscape of Wales, providing opportunities for emerging talent while contributing to local economies.
