Background
Glasgow’s grassroots music scene is world-renowned but under threat from rising costs, venue closures, and reduced opportunities for new talent. Investing in this sector will protect cultural heritage, boost the local economy, attract tourism, and inspire the next generation of musicians. Without increased funding, we risk losing a vital part of the city’s identity.
