Exchange set for improvements with new funding

By Martin Booth  Friday Mar 27, 2020

The Exchange will install new PA equipment in both rooms, buy new speaker equipment and help support projects delivered by Bristol promoters thanks to new funding.

The music venue in Old Market has been awarded an Arts Council National Lottery Project Grant which it hopes will enable them to do even more to support emerging local artists.
