THE PEOPLE'S MUSIC ALLIANCE
We refuse to let the music and other arts die.
That’s why we’re launching the People’s Music Alliance, a radical movement to reclaim our cultural scene. This isn’t just about saving venues; it’s about empowering artists and cultural champions.
We’re building a future where artists are paid fairly, where cultural champions are co-owners, and where independent venues and creative spaces thrive. We’re sparking a new kind of revolution, one that rebuilds the cultural landscape

Through building radical new partnerships with audiences and sponsors we are able to create a funding stream to support our artists progress.
We are delighted to announce that CamdenTown Brewery, the renowned UK brewery which shares our passion for championing the independent arts scene throughout the UK, will be supporting us as we embark on our mission to provide funding for the Unsigned Artists and Bands across the UK.
Join the journey with us and raise your glass to them for supporting the cause!
The Fuel The Music Funding For Unsigned Artists and Bands campaign works with venues across the UK which facilitaties approximately .20p poured from a pint (from selected drinks per venue) to Fuel The Music. This is then redistributed to support funding for the Unsigned Artists and Band ssuccessful applicants.
Cheers to supporting independent talent!
