The government have recently announced the end of the ‘New Deal for Musicians’ scheme. This scheme, part of the benefits system, gave the opportunity for unemployed musicians to be recognised and supported in achieving their aims of making a career from their music. This scheme is now being phased out and no further referrals onto the programme will be made from June. The scheme will be closed altogether in October and replaced by ‘Flexible New Deal’. While statements about the closure of the scheme have intimated that musicians will still be supported if they show significant talent, there has been no information given as to how this might be assessed and who by. We wait to see if ‘Flexible New Deal’ will support a vibrant and diverse range of musical styles.
Friday 10 April sees the return of Strange Brew to the Roundhouse in London. An eclectic mix of new talent, the night is building a reputation for offering something fresh and new. Februarys night was a sell out, so get there quick to make sure you get in. For more information and a full line up please visit:
