There is no doubt that lockdown will be a different kind of hell without music and entertainment, but the industry has been one of the hardest hit by COVID-19. The Port Phillip Council is offering support through funding programs that aim to keep the live music industry afloat.
Launching alongside the scheme is a Locals Playing Locals database featuring musicians whom the Council will pay a standard rate of $250 per musician as artist fees to eligible venues for performances – local Port Phillip musicians of all performing levels and genres are encouraged to register.
