Peter Herbert, Co-producer of Honey Box Live, explained: “It’s important to create opportunities like this, where local artists can connect with the wider music community, and get a chance to reach new audiences.
"By partnering with 2Funky Arts, we’re able to support grassroots talent and help them gain visibility through both live performances and online broadcasts.
"Honey Box Live has received £50,000 from the UK shared prosperity Fund which allows us to deliver the live-streamed series and offer these opportunities to people.”
