This live music workshop will give local musicians, bands, venues and live music businesses the opportunity to participate in discussions about what a thriving live music scene looks like for the local area. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with industry leaders and council representatives.
The event will feature an array of panellists that understand the different challenges that regional communities face in comparison to their metropolitan counter parts. With speakers who will be representing both artists and venues, the event aims to create connections between these and foster relationships to help further the industry in the local area.
If you or anyone you know would like to get a head start on their creative journey, then RSVP now!
