As part of the Government’s £1.57 billion #CultureRecoveryFund, we’ve been able to invest £3.37m in much-loved venues across the country during this difficult time through the Grassroots Music Venue Fund. #hereforculture
Here’s some in the Midlands:

In #Birmingham… the city's oldest and largest #LGBT venue, intimate rock clubs, art cafés, #eco and youth-led organisation - @7EYOUTHACADEMY @CafeArtum @Suki10c @Nightingaleclub & @Sunflowerlounge

In #Leicester… the city’s eclectic Musician Pub, the popular @2funkymusiccafe, #steampunk bar The Metal Monocle, and @The_Sound_House at the heart of the city.

Across the #BlackCountry, Bilston’s legendary #jazz venue, The Trumpet, @HangarVenue in #Wolverhampton, and Stourbridge’s much-loved @worleysswan – a pub venue where local Robert Plant regularly plays. #hereforculture

Across the East Midlands, recording studios, music cafes, jazz clubs, Victorian music halls and theatre spaces, like #Derby’s @Dubrek Studios, @StamfordCET, #Nottingham’s @maltcross and @peggysskylight

From venues in #Northampton to #Nuneaton, #Stoke-on-Trent to #Stourport - this support was only made possible thanks to investment from @DCMS, a much-welcomed investment for many artists, audiences and communities across the country. #hereforculture
