You might be asking the wrong person.
I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s and there was no funding back then. I'm perfectly happy without funding. It wasn't easy then, and it's not easy now. But I'm biased on the topic. Paul would maybe have some further thoughts on that.
As I mentioned in my presentation, I think funding in most cases is life support. It's artificial. It creates a industry of dependence. Yes, it gives young musicians and young writers a head start, and I'm okay that far, but there's a point at which you have to either fish or cut bait, as they say. Either you're a professional and you're able to stand on your own and drive whatever income is still available in these trying times, but I'm not in favour of funding a career from A to Z.
I'm not qualified to comment on the funds that you mentioned because I don't have any personal interaction with them.
