The Push and Music Victoria are taking over Queenscliff Brewhouse this November with This Must Be the Place – a free, catered and all-ages music industry professional development workshop aimed at artists, music fans and music industry practitioners seeking valuable knowledge about the music industry.
The workshops will see highly acclaimed artists Merpire and Al Parkinson provide insight into how they got their start in the music industry, highlights of their careers so far, and what it means to exist in the music industry today.
Participants also have the opportunity to tailor their career development by choosing to jump into small round-robin group sessions with respected music industry professionals, including Chris O’Neill from APRA AMCOS, Neil Morris from Victorian Music Development Office/DRMNGNOW, Al Parkinson from Apple Jack Music (The Teskey Brothers), Ro Flack from Ditto Music and Steven Nichols from Workers Club Geelong.
“We’re excited to celebrate Queenscliff Music Festival and the surrounding local and emerging music culture this November. We hope this professional development workshop will increase skills and networks of local musicians, music fans and industry practitioners,” said Lou James, The Push’s Music Industry Pathways Coordinator.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity for like-minded individuals from the music community to come together and discuss the ins and out of the thriving music industry.
This Must Be the Place will take place at Queenscliff Brewhouse on Saturday, November 23rd between 10am – 1pm. While this takes place at the time of the Queenscliff Music Festival, a festival ticket is not required.
This Must Be the Place is funded by Music Under Wings, a Victorian government initiative.
