Kagoule discuss PRS Foundation Momentum funding

Being in a band can be a challenge for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest struggles that young artists are increasingly facing nowadays is finance.

In a world where bedroom producers and do-it-yourself scenes are cropping up here, there and everywhere, it’s growing more and more evident that money is not something easily obtained in the current climate of the music industry.

That’s where PRS Foundation’s Momentum Fund hopes to step in.

Set up to support artists at a crucial tipping point in their career, the Momentum Fund – which is run by PRS for Music Foundation using public funds from Arts Council England, support from PPL, and is in association with Spotify - gives acts the opportunity to apply for a grant of £5K to £15K in order to take the next integral steps of their careers.

Fresh from releasing their new single ‘Monsieur Automaton’ and ahead of their biggest UK tour to date in November, Nottingham trio Kagoule are one of the latest bands to be helped out by PRS Foundation and Momentum, and they talk us through how the support has helped them grow as a band and beyond.
