First Music Contact for Clare Musicians
Clare Arts Office proudly presents a series of professional development webinars for those working in the music industry in Clare in partnership with First Music Contact.
First Music Contact is the leading national music organisation for resourcing popular musicians and the independent music sector in Ireland. They deliver projects at key stages of an artists’ development, helping them develop real careers. This new project, in association aims to develop a way of offering equal access to professional development services to musicians in Clare as well as developing a framework for supporting artists locally.
This is a musician-first project in which FMC consulted with musicians locally so as to find out what they need to get their music career off the ground or to take the next step – what are the practical things they need and what kind of advice they are after.
Having analysed the results FMC designed professional development panels based on the responses and put together a series of webinars featuring some of the top national and international names in the industry.
The webinar series began with a specific panel for Clare hosted by FMC on the topic of Introduction to the Music Industry and First Music Contact supports on Monday 20th February, 2023. Other February webinars and panel discussions looked at topics such as Gigging outside Ireland, Management and Approaching Media.
