The organisers of Liverpool Sound City have announced a new partnership with a fundraising agency called CAPLL which will seek to increase investment in the artist and music business development programmes Sound City currently runs.
Those new investments, alongside existing funding from Arts Council England, will allow Sound City to expand its professional development programmes. That includes an artist-centric initiative that has just been rebranded as Launch, which supports artists over a twelve-month period on areas like releasing music, tour management, building a brand, marketing and PR, and personal development.
