PPL Momentum Accelerator
PPL Momentum Accelerator is a targeted scheme to support the development of outstanding artists and bands who are writing their own music outside London and who face additional barriers in reaching a crucial career tipping point based on their location.
Through the evaluation of our PPL Momentum Music Fund and evidence from thousands of applications PRS Foundation receives each year, we identified talent pipeline gaps across the UK. Many music creators show strong musical potential but are unable to capitalise upon this due to financial barriers, gaps in regional infrastructure, knowledge, advice, and access to industry platforms.
PPL Momentum Accelerator’s long-term approach supports the development of these outstanding artists and bands outside London, with partners providing support for a number of future industry professionals such as managers, promoters, record labels, music publishers, booking agents, to bolster regional scenes across the UK.
Launched as a pilot in Liverpool in 2019, PPL Momentum Accelerator will run in two areas of the UK in 2021: Yorkshire and Liverpool City Region.
