Presented by the Welsh Music Foundation in association with Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council’s Cultural Services, as part of the Designs for Life Programme, this day-long event will see a number of sessions taking place at the Muni Arts Centre, Pontypridd, on Saturday 17th of July. As well as a morning session featuring a panel of guest speakers from the various different parts of the music industry, there will also be a surgery session with Welsh Music Foundation and PRS For Music who will be on hand to give advice to aspiring music companies and musicians.
In the afternoon there will also be advice for bands, musicians and budding music journalists, through a special interactive workshop with Fakerocker, who will be giving advice on promoting your band to the media, as well as interview and promotional techniques. The ‘Promote & Plug’ session will also cater to those interested in music journalism, giving practical advice on interviewing musicians and approaching media outlets, and will feature an introduction from ‘Plugged In’ Magazine – the music magazine for Wales based in Rhondda Cynon Taf. PRS For Music and Welsh Music Foundation will also be hosting a drop in session for musicians and music enterprises, offering advice and answering questions.
