King Street Hotel, which today announced its expansion and commitment to live music, will receive a $70,000 grant from the federal government.
The grant will be used to purchase lighting and sound desk equipment, improve disability access, upskill staff, live programming, boost capacity and support of up-and-coming local acts and touring artists.
“The closure of the Cambridge Hotel marked the end of an era, but certainly not the end of great live music in Newcastle,” Member for Newcastle, Sharon Claydon said.
“This grant from the Albanese Labor Government will help establish King Steet Hotel as a premiere live music venue, ensuring homegrown and international musicians have a place to showcase their talents.”
“I’m excited to see more Novocastrians being able to enjoy live music, while supporting our local venues, bands and musicians.”
