PRS Foundation announces the thirteenth round of promoters supported through the Early Career Promoters Fund

  • Since Round 1 over £760k in support has been issued to more than 250 early career promoters
  • 77% are based outside London (for the thirteenth round)
  • The thirteenth round supported promoters working in eight different music genres
  • 52% of grantees identify as being from the global majority (for the thirteenth round)

We’re excited to announce the thirteenth round of promoters receiving the targeted Early Career Promoter Fund, supported by Arts Council England using strategic funding from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

The 22 early career promoters, selected for support by a network of specialist music industry advisors, are:

Harlem Reid
Beth Roberts
Rafhale Evans
Catherine Rodgers
Jacqueline Haigh
David Abeji
Daniel Gouly
Gavin Milne
Tomas Restrepo Garces
Craig Cresswell
Annabelle Forse
Shelley Ballard
Cameron Dunn
Conrad Whale
Laura Rosierse
Dave Eniolu
Jae Stevens
Chris Baldwin
Andrea Campisi
Adam Gallagher
Oliver Reed
Ben Varlamos

The fund aims to help emerging promoters to do what they do best – book and promote shows to develop scenes, support artists and DJs and to reach and engage audiences locally, regionally, and nationally, and build sustainable careers in the grassroots music sector. Those receiving support will be able to step up to book and promote talent at a scale beyond their current level, and build their capacity, skills and networks.

Managed by PRS Foundation and funded by Arts Council England using Supporting Grassroots Music funding from DCMS, the Early Career Promoter Fund also aims to help address underrepresentation, ensuring support reaches a diverse range of promoters, and proactively encouraging grantees to support a diverse range of artists and music genres nationwide.

This announcement of supported promoters is from applicants to the 4th September 2025 deadline.  Successful grantees from subsequent deadlines will be announced over PRS Foundation’s social media over the coming months. 

Promoters can find out more information and apply for Early Career Promoter Fund support from PRS Foundation’s website.
