Inverness’ Tooth & Claw wins PRS Music Makeover prize
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 30 August 2016
Inverness pub The Tooth & Claw has been named the winner of this year’s Music Makeover competition, run by PRS For Music. The prize is a £10,000 grant to revamp the live music venue, as well as some free advice from producer Steve Levine.
The venue’s co-owner Paulina Matuszak says: “We are overjoyed with the support that both PRS For Music and the local community have given us. We want The Tooth & Claw to become a staple of the Inverness music scene and with this prize, that dream is becoming a reality. We can’t wait to play host to the best of Inverness music!”
PRS Chairman Guy Fletcher adds: “We regard pubs as an essential component of our popular music culture; they provide unparalleled opportunities for emerging musical talent to develop their skills and their popularity. Our Music Makeover award gives PRS For Music an annual opportunity to encourage music-loving venues to support local talent and enables them to improve the quality of the music experience for both performers and their audience”.
The Music Makeover prize was launched in 2012, initially offering £5000 towards refurbishment of the winning venue each year.
