Calling all musicians, venues, promoters and music organisations! Liverpool Music Month (May), and Liverpool Summer of Music (June-August), are set to target music-loving visitors from across the UK - and beyond - to come and experience the best music from around the globe in the world’s music capital. As part of the programme, we’re offering artists, musicians and music-based organisations from across the city region – Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral - the opportunity to use it as a platform for their own work. This can be through performance, workshops, talks, community activity or other music-related projects reflecting the rich breadth of music-making across our region. Up to 20 commissions from across the Liverpool City Region could be supported with funding to help in the development of their projects. Fill in this form to express your interest – but hurry the deadline is 6pm on Thursday 9 April. 👉ow.ly/nBRr50YAE4l
