Please note: The Scottish Arts Council will not normally fund productions through project funding that are programmed to appear at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival or Edinburgh International Festival only. Tours which include these festivals are eligible but the festival appearances must be part of a larger Scottish tour, the majority of performances must happen outside of the festivals.
Our music touring programme Tune Up was established by the Scottish Arts Council in 2003 and provides funding to top musicians and artists to perform across Scotland.
Please note: the deadline for proposals for tours in Scotland between September 2009 and August 2010 has now passed.
