I'd really recommend the British Academy Early Career Researcher Network (www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/early-career... ) - you don't need an affiliation to join, but you get access to free workshops & events (the network pays for travel to its own events), & to funding and grants!

Big news.

The Royal Albert Hall has just become the first 5,000+ capacity arena to permanently adopt the £1 grassroots levy on all commercial rock and pop shows from October 2025 - a move that could raise £300,000 a year to support the foundations of the UK’s live music scene.
