CMU:DIY coming to the Roundhouse
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 29 November 2013
The team from CMU Insights have announced more details about two upcoming CMU:DIY events, educational sessions aimed at the grass roots music community, both being staged at the Roundhouse in Camden.
The first session takes place on 7 Dec, and concludes the latest instalment of the Roundhouse’s 30/30 programme, which has seen fifteen artists working on recordings in the London venue’s in-house studio throughout November.
Hosted by CMU Business Editor Chris Cooke, the CMU:DIY Artist Toolkit Day will provide insights on how new artists can build and engage a fanbase, including the importance of gigging, social media and direct-to-fan channels, before considering when and how grass roots talent should connect with the wider music business, including managers, labels, bookers and the media.
Amongst the industry experts on hand to offer insights will be AMP Publicity’s Louise Minter, Absolute Marketing’s Adam Cardew, Believe Digital’s Hannah Donovan, AR Management’s Anna Russell, Holy Roar’s Alex Fitzpatrick and Will Cook from The 405. Artists interested in attending the event can find out more info and enrol here.
There will then be another CMU:DIY session during the just announced Roundhouse Rising festival next February. That full day event will include interviews, panels and insight sessions about getting started in the music business, including how to make money from music, building and analysing audience, setting up a music company and where labels fit in.
