First up, we’re pleased to announce four new workshop opportunities…
10th September – Funding Your Dream WORKSHOP
Got a creative project in mind but unsure how to fund it? In this workshop, funding consultant Hannah Mina will guide you through the process of writing successful grant applications for organisations like Arts Council England (ACE), PRS Foundation, Help Musicians, and more.
You’ll learn how to budget effectively, pitch your vision clearly, and avoid common application mistakes.
With over £300,000 in successful applications under her belt, Hannah has worked with Youth Music, Saffron Music, the Roundhouse, A New Direction and HQI. Through her platform, Funding with Mina, she’s made funding more accessible for creatives across the UK — now it’s your turn to benefit from her expertise.
8th October – Make Your Own Podcast/ Radio Show WORKSHOP
Ever dreamed of hosting your own show? In this hands-on workshop, broadcaster and DJ Martha will guide you through scripting, recording, and presenting a 5-minute radio or podcast segment. Whether you want to introduce tracks you love or speak passionately about a topic that matters to you, you’ll learn how to craft compelling audio with personality and purpose.
Martha is a champion of underground electronic music, platforming grassroots artists through her weekly BBC Radio 1 show and Friday residency on NTS. Her work blends community storytelling with cutting-edge sounds, and her radio career spans Reprezent FM, BBC production, audio documentaries, and hosting at some of the world’s most exciting music festivals.
5th November – Brand & Identity in Music WORKSHOP
Your music is your art — but your brand is how the world connects with it. In this business-focused workshop, creative industries consultant, Jeremy Paterson, will help you define a clear and compelling artist brand, discover your unique selling point, and understand how to activate your brand to connect with audiences and industry. You’ll have the opportunity to pitch your brand idea to Jeremy for direct feedback during the session, and you’ll leave with a clear sense of what your brand is and how to communicate it.
3rd December – DIY Content Creation for Musicians WORKSHOP
In today’s music industry takeover, your content is just as important as your sound. In this practical workshop, multidisciplinary artist Cat Couture will help you to develop your own visual world and how to execute your visuals in a way that authentically portrays your personal brand. We’ll be exploring how to think bigger, more creatively and more honestly about the impact you want to make with your content as well as a step by step guide of how to shoot and edit your photos and reels without relying on filters and expensive apps.
