Momentum Day
To reach new artists, audiences, and future Momentum grantees, every three months (approx) we host a a live panel featuring industry representatives and Momentum grantees, and an evening gig featuring successful Momentum grantees. While the panel is centred around the Momentum Music Fund (what it is, tips, case studies), the discussion covers progression routes, and how to get to Momentum level, and a sustainable career. The panel discusses tips and guidance, and the gig provides practical guidance (and inspiration!), whilst also showcasing Momentum grantees.
The first Momentum Day took place in Newscastle, with a panel discussion at the Toffee Factory, and then end with a gig at Cluny 2 featuring Momentum alumni, Boy Jumps Ship and Luke Sital-Singh.
As part of Tramlines, PRS Foundation presents the second ever Momentum Day on Saturday 22nd July. The programme of panels and roundtables will centre around the Momentum Music Fund, and will aim to advise music creators on progression routes, including insight into success stories and funding tips!
Take in the advice as part of the Momentum Music Fund Tent at Tramlines on Friday and Sunday featuring Momentum funded artists Flamingods, Bossy Love, Jamie Isaac, Champion, Ms Banks, Our Girl, Jerry Williams, and more!
The panel is free and you can register for tickets here.
Please see the full schedule below:
