Artists looking to follow in the footsteps of bands including Radiohead, Supergrass and Foals are set to benefit from new funding to support live music.
Last month, Oxford City Council agreed to invest £40,000 over the next two years to help live music events, “which might otherwise not be viable to flourish”.
The live music fund, which is still being put together, will be open to local musicians and promoters. It comes after the closure of multiple venues around the city in recent years.
Musician Hannah Bruce, who is by her own admission “Oxford born and bred”, said the new funding would “make a massive difference”.
