MUSIC NETWORKING 7.30PM - Informal networking event for anyone in the local music industry or who wants to, if they're:

- looking to collaborate with others

- offering help / support / providing services for anyone in music

- just wanting to say hello and tell everyone what you do

Everyone gets a turn to either just say hi or you can speak for up to 2-3 mins. We'll have a couple of networking breaks in between so you can catch up, speak to the people you just heard from and make new contacts. We'll also carry on over drinks for anyone who wants a general catch up and chat about the local music scene.

The event is aimed at a mix of those involved in music, including

- musicians, event promoters, managers

- producers, DJs, sound engineers, stage assistants

- record labels, publishing companies, booking agents

- designers, video-makers, artists

- support organisations, service providers, educators

- students and anyone looking to start working in music
