A:E Day returns to Manchester with Roxanne De Bastion, Lisbee Stainton and Jack Gourlay
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 8 October 2018
The Artist:Enterpreneur Day from the Featured Artists Coalition and CMU:DIY will return to Manchester later this month with a special edition sitting alongside the English Folk Expo which is taking place in the city. Aimed at early-career artists and future industry talent from all genres, the A:E Day will once again see three artist entrepreneurs open up their respective artist businesses to explain how you build a fanbase and a business around your music.
Hosting this edition will be artist entrepreneurs Roxanne De Bastion, Lisbee Stainton and Jack Gourlay, who will each explain how they have gone about building a fanbase and generating revenue around their music making. They’ll also discuss the business partners they’ve worked with along the way and will interview a team of music industry experts about things like social media, PR, gigging, distribution and deals.
In addition to that little lot, CMU:DIY’s Chris Cooke will present five A:E Guides explaining the ins and outs of music revenues, music rights, the live business, fanbase building and an artist’s key business partners. Details of the other guests due to speak will be announced soon.
This edition of A:E Day takes place at Home in Manchester on Sunday 21 Oct. Tickets for the full-day event are just £10 and are available here.
