About this scheme

Fast Track Live provides grants of £500–£1,000 to help cover shortfalls in touring and live performance costs. Funded by LIVE Trust Phase 2, it is designed for early-career musicians who have immediate live opportunities but face financial barriers to taking them.

Alongside funding, every recipient receives two one-hour Career Clinic sessions with an expert adviser. The fund aims to reduce financial risks of live performance and help musicians grow their careers sustainably.

Eligibility aligns with Help Musicians' standard criteria: UK-based working musicians with at least 40% income from music, aged 18+, with a UK bank account and under £10,000 savings.
