Description: Music Network Performance and Touring Award

Next Deadline for Applications: In 2009 there will be three application dates - Monday 16th February, Monday 8th June and Monday 5th October. The scheme is open to musicians and ensembles of all genres that are of Irish nationality or resident in Ireland.

In April 2006 Music Network announced the introduction of an exciting new award, which will provide support and work for professional musicians in Ireland. With funding from the Arts Council, the Performance and Touring Award has been developed by Music Network, the national music development organisation, to assist Irish and Ireland-based musicians in realising performance opportunities.

With an initial award fund of €65,000 in 2006, €100,000 in 2007 and €87,600 in 2008, the award offers increased employment opportunities to Irish musicians; develops the skills base of Irish artists in areas such as project planning and administration, self-promotion and self-management; and offers a new source of music programming to concert promoters, and in turn to audiences throughout Ireland.
