The U.K. government has announced a far-reaching stimulus package for the music industry with millions set to be distributed through a number of programs.

The Music Growth Package, first announced in the Creative Industries Sector Plan last June, will receive £15 million ($20 million) more than previously planned, taking the total to £45 million ($60 million). The funds will allow over 2,000 music projects to be supported over the next three years before the next general election.
