A bar which regularly hosts exciting new bands and even organised Halifax’s own music festival is hoping to bring even more groups to the town thanks to a cash grant.

The Grayston Unity, at Wesley Court, has been given just over £4,500 to buy new sound equipment by the Music Venue Trust (MVT)

Owner Michael Ainsworth said he hopes the investment will mean the bar can host more fresh talent.

“We applied and were successful in being awarded money to buy our own backline, which will save us money having to hire equipment in, it will make our gigs run more smoothly and make us more self sufficient,” he said.
