Welsh Music Foundation celebrate ten years
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 3 September 2010
The Welsh Music Foundation is ten years old this year and will celebrate with two days of seminars and networking events in Cardiff next weekend, 10-11 Sep.
Seminars will cover topics like royalties, radio and digital, plus there will be opportunities to meet PRS, the Musicians’ Union and the Association Of Independent Festivals. We will also stage two of our widely acclaimed (if we do say so ourselves, which we do, look, we just said it) CMU music business seminars, which will be free to attend to delegates at the WMF event.
On Friday, we will run our business models seminar, looking at how you can make money out of music. This session looks at how traditional ways of monetising music are shaping up in the digital age, at new revenue opportunities including the potential of sync, brand partnerships, and direct-to-fan retail, at alternative investment options, including fan funding, and will offer tips for how rights owners and artists might want to structure their businesses in the future.
On Saturday, we will run our hugely popular music promotions seminar, which includes an in depth review of the music media in 2011, a recap of the traditional music marketing approach, tips on press relations based on a survey of 100 journalists, tips for new ways to approach music promotions for both labels and artists, and a beginners guide to using social media to build fan relations and sell music.
All events are free to attend, though places are limited, especially at the CMU seminars. So, all you lovely Welsh music people should get to www.wmfis10.com asap for details on how to sign up.
In addition to all that, on Friday night there’ll be a special gig to celebrate WMF’s birthday featuring Future of the Left, We//Are//Animal and Exit International.
