’s Leftfoot. Notably Motion, in Bristol, is on course to receive nearly £1 million in aid alone.

The fund will also help smaller and independent music festivals across the UK, as well as radio stations such as Reprezent in London. Theatre companies, visual arts and literature will also receive money according to the. It’s in the format of an excel spreadsheet, naturally ! But the package isn’t perfect, skewing — perhaps unsurprisingly, due to the high concentration of events and venues in the capital — overwhelmingly towards London, which has received an eye watering £87 million of the total fund. In comparison to the aid given to England, Scottish nightlife will only receive around £55k, with Wales slightly higher at £112k. Northern Ireland is not listed on the awards breakdown list.

Thankfully, Arts Council has said that further announcements will follow. Over the coming weeks they expect to disclose round two of the grants under £1 million, grants over £1 million, and the Capital Kickstart and Repayable Finance programmes. The current awards have been allocated by application basis, which goes some way to explaining the London-centric nature of the breakdown. Hopefully applications will continue to flow and the geographical spread of aid will widen. But with no end in sight to our new “tiered lockdown” system, it remains to be seen what will survive of the nightlife we know and love. We miss the club!
