Ayesha Swift voted Travers Rising Stars best performer at Glastonblaby 2024 The Travers Foundation, a local charity supporting young people, has launched Travers Rising Stars 2025. This offers emerging young singers and musicians access to funding for their development and studio recordings, enabling them to gain valuable experience by participating in live events.
‘This marks our fifth year supporting local artists in Leicestershire, Rutland, and Northamptonshire, and this year promises to be even bigger and better,’ states Kieran Forsey, Head of Travers Rising Stars. “By collaborating with enthusiastic supporters, including vocal coaches, local studio producers, and parents, young singers and musicians can submit their plans for 2025 and request funding to support their initiatives.”
“I’m reaching out to potential supporters who work with up-and-coming local singers and musicians and believe that charitable funding could be beneficial. I encourage them to direct these young people to Travers Rising Stars.”
Forsey continues, ‘Once an application is approved, singers and musicians can receive funding for artist development and will have the opportunity to perform at Travers Rising Stars events in Leicestershire, Rutland, and Northamptonshire. We have some exciting events lined up for this year, including the Glastonblaby 2025 charity festival in August.’
Singers, musicians, and their supporters must act swiftly, as places are limited.
