Music Connections: Oh Yeah Centre to stage big event to boost NI's future
A special event to help shape Northern Ireland's music industry for the future, is taking place in Belfast tomorrow (Wednesday).
Online business hub Music Connections has parterned with Sound of Belfast to host a special forum at the Oh Yeah Centre
Music reps will discuss a whole raft of ideas that will help provide the local scene with a solid future,
The afternoon has been designed to focus on some of the core challenges and opportunities for both music creators (artists, songwriters and composers) as well as those working to support music creation, from managers and producers to journalists, broadcasters, promoters and health professionals.
Wide-ranging discussions will cover Northern Ireland's night time economy and culture, led by campaigning organisation Free The Night, and a session looking at how music creators can make the most of online platforms to monetise their music and fuel their career development.
The afternoon will finish with a practical discussion on how the music sector in NI can better manage its mental health and where it can find support locally for any specialist physical performance injuries. Health professionals are especially welcome to attend this session.
Among those taking part include top singer songwriter Iain Archer and Sacha Lord, founder of the Parklife Festival and Warehouse Project.
