Ayr music venue secures funding to create rehearsal space, green room and hub for students

A grassroots music venue in Ayr has received a cash boost to develop its space from which the whole community can benefit.
Venue38, on Carrick Street, received £5000 from Music Venue Trust’s Pipeline Investment Fund to revamp a ‘dead’ space to become a hub for film, sound and media students to bolster their skills.

She said: “Like all Grassroots music venues our margins are razor-thin. This isn’t a profitable industry and we don’t do it for the money, we do it for the love of music.
“This means that saving money for important new equipment can be very difficult and unexpected costs, such as replacing equipment, can mean that we use up all of our reserves to do so, putting us in a position of financial uncertainty.
“The grant allows us to develop ourselves as a venue and helps free up more money for investment back into arts and culture.
“The funding will not
