Generator North East (TDN 2024)
A thriving place needs a soundtrack. Music brings people together and defines who we are. It provides work, community, and belonging. Too often, the music industry is seen as separate or purely for passion. In reality, music is crucial for a successful economy, especially in the North East where it’s a core part of our identity. Young people deserve an accessible music industry with recognised pathways for artists and sustainable careers in production, venues, and management. Generator exists to build this. Our mission is to create, develop, and sustain a music industry in the North East, ensuring access for all.
The 2024 Tipping Point programme will be Generator’s largest creative development scheme to date, spanning the North from Northumberland to Liverpool. A rounded and accessible programme of support, enrichment, and development, for early-career music creators of all identities and backgrounds across the North East of England and beyond. Our programme reaches young people at the outset of their careers and provides routes into further creative opportunities from workshops to conferences, from songwriting bootcamps to showcases, and from release support to label deals.
