Yup! I haven't got sight of the full list but in addition to the excellent Wren losing their money there is also:-
* South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell - 100% of funding withdrawn. Lots of jazz and folk workshops were arranged by them as well as performances. (This was previously the base for TAPS - Traditional Arts Council South which did mighty work and lost their funding a few years back)
* Music Beyond Mainstream - the consortium that brought Imagined Village, African Soul Rebels, etc.etc. to regions that could not otherwise afford them - 100% cut.

There has been a lot of robbing Peter to pay Paul going on and with the massive cuts in ACE funding there will have to be much more robbing than paying..

Oh, and the removal of Wren's funding comes a few years after Folk South-West lost theirs: What have they got against folk music in the West Country?

You can get something of the full picture by going to http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/funding/national-portfolio-funding/ and clicking on spreadsheet of national portfolio organisations to get an Excel spreadsheet - but beware this is not the full picture because, apparently organisations that have lost their funding can opt not to be included here. For example, South Hill Park is here but Wren - unless I have missed it - is not. ACE have said that Most NPO applicants said they did not want to named in a published list if their application was unsuccessful.
