Have any artists really impressed you after receiving support?Įvery artist we’ve selected for our Momentum Music Fund have gone through a hugely competitive process, so they’ve all been impressive in different ways. For others, like Years and Years, it means getting to a position where you’re ready to sign to a major label on your own terms backed by the confidence of the extra few steps you’ve been able to take thanks to PRS Foundation’s support. For some, like Little Simz, this means having the chance to retain independence and build a following with her own label. The main purpose of our Momentum Music Fund is to give independent artists the cash investment they need to break through to the next level and start benefitting from a sustainable career.

She was deeply affected by the deaths, and would no doubt have been devastated by recent events in Northern Ireland as well. “Zombie” was a protest song written by the band’s late frontwoman Dolores O’Riordan after two children were killed by IRA bombs – was released. There’s a cruel irony that the release of The Cranberries’ final album should come just a week after journalist Lyra McKee was shot dead by the New IRA during a riot in Londonderry.
