I introduced the Music Industry Support Package in 2020 to help meet the needs of the whole of the music sector in these unprecedented times. This was the first time this type of support was offered to the music industry and it was designed to cover all music genres and had three components, song writing, album release and recording.

The administration of the schemes was managed by First Music Contact on behalf of my Department.

The criteria for each of the three schemes  is published on the First Music Contact website. The full list of awardees of funding under the Music Industry Stimulus Package has also been published and is available to view on the First Music Contact website
