9.Goverment involvement in pop music?Now I know your kidding!
There's a short documentary on utube with a load of irish bands talking about government funding for the arts. They make a good point in that, if your an artist or a classical musician you can apply for grants, but if you in a pop/rock band there's nothing.
There's a part where the singer from Humanzi says theres funding to train doctors & scientists and being a musician is as important as being a doctor
He's right. This country needs more people in skinny jeans and leather jackets.......gas
