The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) trade body has shared the Government funds between 10 independent artists which will go towards digital marketing and other forms of overseas promotion.
Bands Jungle, Kero Kero Bonito and Working Men’s Club, singers Kwaye and Orla Gartland, rappers Shygirl and Wesley Joseph and producer Shakka will also receive money as part of the scheme.
The Music Export Growth Scheme (Megs) is funded by the Department for International Trade in partnership with the Exporting is Great campaign and is designed to support the work of the British music industry abroad.

The band’s singer, Sarah Midori Perry, also posted on Twitter yesterday (December 26) to suggest she may have seen a UFO.
“The other day I saw this weird white dot in the sky,” she began. “It was behind the clouds, so it couldn’t have been a drone, but it wasn’t a plane. And then it quickly shot off behind this big cloud behind this other cloud, and then disappeared.
“It happened so quick, I was like: did I see a UFO?” Watch the clip of Perry recounting the supernatural experience below.
