A music venue in Belfast has received a grant from the charity Music Venue Trust to transform its production system
.
The Pipeline Investment Fund was established in 2022 with the support of members of the Music Venues Alliance and was primarily funded by donations from ticket sales of MVT’s recent ‘Revive Live’ programme of gigs around the UK, which was a partnership with The National Lottery.Black Box is set to use the grant to pay for two new top speakers to improve production and sound quality and to replace its ageing system.
Small-scale grant applications were invited from UK-based Grassroots Music Venues to support two key areas of work - small-scale capital projects including lights, sound, access, ventilation and minor building alteration and staff and training for workforce diversification, succession planning, skills development and strengthening local community ties.
Last month, Music Venue Trust released their 2022 Annual Report, which was launched at a reception for MPs at The House of Commons. The report details the immense contribution of Grassroots Music Venues to the UK economy, and the current threat they face as a result of the cost-of-living crisis and ongoing post-covid recovery.
