PROC Music Conference
The Pavilion, Careys Lane
Saturday November 8th, 2pm
Saturday November 8th, 2pm
Cork’s most popular website PeoplesRepublicOfCork.com will bring a host of experienced names from the music industry to Cork on Saturday November 8th to speak about their careers in the business and offer advice to up-and-coming local acts.
Jointly organised by PROC Music and First Music Contact (FMC) as part of their national information sessions, the conference aims to help local acts to fine tune their off-stage operations, wise-up to promoting themselves and to get the most from local and national media outlets.
Being up to date on the rapidly changing nature of how music is sold, marketed and distributed by successful acts is hugely important for Cork bands and producers.
For local up-and-coming music pioneers to make it to the top, it is also essential that the quality of information they receive is of the highest possible standard therefore the PROC Music Conference will only feature panellists who have walked-the-walk in a variety of roles in what is often a treacherous and unpredictable industry.
The conference will also offer an opportunity for bands to personally hand demos to the speakers. The conference will be free of charge and entry will be on a first come first serve basis but a place can be guaranteed by emailing music@peoplesrepublicofcork.com .
Panellists:
Alison Curtis, Today FM
Ashley Keating, Frank and Walters, FIFA Records, Red FM
Ben Leahy, Playright Publishing, The Ting Tings
Keith Johnson, Marketing Director IMRO
Paul Barton, A&R Warner Music (tbc)
Angela Dorgan (chair), Director FMC and Hard Working Class Heroes Festival
