The Soundhouse Fund

Aim: The Soundhouse Fund has been set up to cover parts of our budget not wholly supported by external funders. Anyone can contribute to the fund

What we need?

We estimate that we require £40,000 per year to maintain our commitment to our 5 key principals:

• to pay musicians competitive and fair rates of pay
• to keep ticket prices as low as possible for audience members
• to use only those venues that have great acoustics and great sight lines
• to support musicians at the start of their careers
• to create a feeling of community via a shared love of live music

Why now?

We live in increasingly difficult times. Music and the connection it fosters in all of us is more important that ever.

As budgets are squeezed with funders we are looking to our supporters to help get behind our mission to bring quality live music to as many people as possible.

Soundhouse is a charity so giving to us means that you can add gift aid and make your donation go even further.

The Soundhouse Fund will allow us to pay performance fees that offer musicians the freedom to innovate and present new work to audiences; to support emerging talent with gigs and promotional materials such as live videos; to make our ticket prices as accessible as possible; and to continue to use the best venues in Edinburgh.
