The powers include the ability to contribute towards the expenses of maintaining a band or orchestra, and towards the development and improvement of the knowledge, understanding and practice of the arts.

Application A01 Hampshire Youth Ceilidh Collective
Applicant Jason Knight TAPS Basingstoke
Local Member informed of project:
Councillor J.K. Frankum, Councillor J Kelly, Councillor B.T. Gurden, Councillor J.D. Shaw
No response received.
Purpose For Which Assistance Is Sought
The Hampshire Youth Ceilidh Collective project will take place in Basingstoke from Summer 2004 to Autumn 2005. The project aims to encourage the learning of folk and world instruments by young people and to enable Hampshire schools to mount participatory social dance events using their own resources. TAPS will run taster sessions across Hampshire followed by regular Saturday morning workshop sessions giving young people the opportunity to learn to play instruments they would not normally have access to and leading to the formation of three bands which can then provide music for school ceilidhs and similar community events.
Supports the Corporate Strategy by:
Building strong and safe communities through enabling young people to stage community events and maximising life opportunities by providing an opportunity for those young people to learn a skill they would otherwise be unable to access.

Additional information:
TAPS is based in Basingstoke but serves the region of greater Hampshire. The company already receives funding from the County Council for its base costs but it needs to apply for further funding for each of its projects. This one is just the sort of initiative which is expected of TAPS and so it is wholeheartedly supported working with young people in developing their skills in music.

Additional information:

Although there are not the folk festivals in the county for this troupe to perform at we would urge them to attend the Winchester Folk Festival if appropriate.

Additional information:
This is not the usual festival which applies for funding from the County Council in that it is essentially an academic forum for the discussion of the effect of arts and culture on the mind and then how this affects learning and behaviour. However, as an adjunct to the discussion, there will be a major programme of arts in Winchester venues which will be available to the local population. As the County Council is financing the major exhibition in the Great Hall it is unable to further support this project.
