MUSIC TALKS PROJECT.
A NEW MODEL FOR HOW MUSIC IS SUPPORTED THROUGH HOSPITALITY.
Every booking contributes towards grassroots music initiatives, creative opportunities and community projects across the cities we work in.
THE
PROBLEM
The UK live music and entertainment industry generated almost £7 billion in 2024.
Yet many grassroots music organisations, youth programmes and community projects continue to face funding challenges.
Music Talks Project was launched to help change that.
£7 BILLION
What Is Music Talks Project?
Music Talks Project is our built-in reinvestment programme.
For every booking we make, £10 is set aside from our agency fee and invested back into music culture.
That might include youth music, mental health support, community projects, emerging DJs, equipment access, or something we agree on together.. No extra cost or admin.
This isn’t a one off campaign, it’s part of how we operate. Giving back, one booking at a time.
HOW IT WORKS
1 | Become a Partner
We get to know your venue, audience and goals. Together, we start to build the foundation for impact.
2 | Choose Your Initiative
You can choose the cause or initiative that matters most to your venue and community. Or we can decide it together as partners.
3 | First Booking
Your very first gig begins building impact immediately. A £10 contribution is set aside from our agency fee.
4 | Building Impact
Contributions grow naturally through ongoing bookings and long term partnerships. Every booking strengthens your cause.
5 | Quarterly Allocation & Reporting
Funds are collected and allocated every quarter. Your support goes directly to your chosen project. You receive a clear update showing the impact made.
