Fringe benefits for musicians

EXTRA funding is being made available to support Scottish-based musicians as they perform at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Custom byline text: 

The Made in Scotland fund is an annual scheme to help performers taking part in the festival, and now it is being expanded to support musicians. Since 2009, £1.6 million has been given out to 56 theatre and dance productions and an extra £100,000 will be available this year for music. Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "It will provide access to fantastic support, expertise, training and advice, exposure to esteemed international promoters and funding towards performing at the Fringe."
