The Cultural Recovery Fund 2: We are #HereForCulture!
We're delighted and humbled to announce that Down for the Count have been awarded a second grant in the Cultural Recovery Fund, created by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and administered by Arts Council England.
It's the second grant we've been awarded in the Cultural Recovery Fund, and will help to ensure that Down for the Count are here to create music for you for years to come.
We used the first grant to move many of our planned public performances online - and will be doing the same with the second grant, as well as building towards being able to return to perform in front of live audiences very soon.
You can watch our previous live streams on our YouTube channel - and also keep an eye on our live dates page to find out when we're planning future streamed concerts.
You can also get tickets to our public shows - we are encouraged by the progress of vaccinations in the UK and are fully expecting our live public shows in June and beyond to go ahead, and we'd love to see you there!
