Amplify is an artist development programme run by the Nest Collective. It aims to do as its name suggests: reinvigorate and develop contemporary and cross-cultural folk music in the UK by supporting the development of emerging music creators.

This year they are seeking four artists for the Amplify individually-tailored mentorship programme. Supported by PRS Foundation for Music and Arts Council England, and selected by a panel of industry professionals from an open call.

The programme includes:
– Mentoring by industry professionals. Each artist will be paired with a mentor for a series of meetings
– £500 in seed funding to develop a project across their associate year. Eg: new work / recording project / new collaboration
– Showcase opportunities at Campfire Clubs, Magpie’s Nest festivals, and other Nest Collective events
– Facilitated networking with our wide range of industry contacts including agents, labels, studios, etc, tailored for each artist.
– Creation of digital promotion and assets, including a performance video, produced and promoted by the Nest Collective.
– Nature connection training as part of our upcoming 3-day residency.
