Liverpool Lighthouse has opened applications for the ‘Harbour Fund’; a project which will support 6 young people with their creative projects, and help them build a career in the wide ranging music industries. Funded by Youth Music, the project is open to young people aged 18-25.
Successful
applicants will be supported to develop and deliver an independent and
innovative project. This can be anything; from artist development to events
management, technical roles to teaching. If the project relates to music, the
Harbour Fund can help by providing the skills, experience and confidence they
need to develop a career or as a side-hustle to sustain a music career.
Applicants
need to have an exciting or innovative approach with the potential to create
positive change in the industry. They will be supported to develop a budget for
their project and will be provided with a grant of up to £1000 to cover project
expenses. Successful applicants will also have free access to the following
facilities at Liverpool Lighthouse: a workspace; recording studios; venue; meeting
rooms; resources and equipment; support, advice, and guidance from experienced
industry professionals and training to support their project delivery where
needed.
Alongside their
core project, they will receive 6 months of paid work experience in one of 4 areas
that Liverpool Lighthouse can provide excellent mentoring and facilities:
• Events management
• Venue management
• Studio management
• Music production
Tom Percy, the studio manager
at Liverpool Lighthouse says “This is an incredible opportunity not only for
young people, but also Liverpool’s diverse music scene. As music and events try
to find their footing in a post-Covid landscape, having the facilities and
opportunities for young people to develop and deliver their music project ideas
will be invaluable to kickstart careers in Liverpool’s vibrant music industry”.
To be eligible for the
project, applicants must be aged 18-25, live in Merseyside, and be from one of:
·
An ethnically diverse background of low
representation
·
Not in employment, education, or
training
·
From a low socio-economic background
