CITY venues have received over £1.4 million after the live music industry was "hit hard" by Covid-19.

A total of 27 Glasgow venues were granted funds in the second round of the Scottish Government's Grassroots Music Venues Stabilisation Fund. It is aimed at grassroots live music venue and is being delivered by Creative Scotland.

BLOC+, Broadcast, Flying Duck, King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, Nice N Sleazy and the Howlin Wolf are among the venues to receive the relief cash.

Ariki Porteous of Glasgow’s Nice N Sleazy said: "It has been a relief to receive this fund considering a return to normal trading still looks to be some way off."

Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: “This is an incredibly difficult time for the live music sector and it is important that we support our grassroots music venues – which are key to our rich and diverse music scene – to survive until they can reopen.
