IN MUSIC
The Liam Colgan Music Fund is an independent charity set up to support young musicians and others in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland keen to pursue ambitions in music, whether simply to make and perform music in their local community or to follow dreams of a career in music on the artistic, creative, technical or business side of the music industry.
"The Liam Colgan Music Fund is such a welcome, important initiative – born out of great sadness – but one that opens a door on to the healing power of music"

'Setting the Stage II'
LIve Event Production Training Workshop
Saturday, March 16th 2024
Merkinch Community Centre, Inverness
Back by demand, the Fund's 'Setting the Stage Ii' training workshop on March 16th saw 20 young people take part in this innovative event, getting hands-on experience running sound, lights, backline and event management under the guidance and supervision of industry professionals, with live bands providing sound checks. Whilst last year's event broke new ground, the latest workshop was even better.
