MusicTank launches live music course
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 24 March 2011
MusicTank has announced a new six session training course on all things live music to be led by Andy Inglis, who created and managed London’s recently closed Luminaire venue. The course will include a review of the live sector, tips on marketing and ticketing, important information on licensing, analysis of where the live sector is going, and discussion as to whether bigger agents and promoters have become too powerful, and how independents can better compete.
Joining Inglis during the course will be Dominique Czopor, founder of Guildford venue The Boileroom, who will offer expertise on licensing issues, plus Dave Newton of WeGotTickets, Howard Monk and Paul Hutton of promotions companies The Local and Metropolis Music, Andy Duggan of live music booking agency Primary Talent and David Phillips, manager of London venue Koko.
Commenting on the course, Inglis told CMU: “I have 21 years experience in the music industry and co-founding and running The Luminaire has been, by turns, a hugely rewarding and massively frustrating experience. If I can’t illuminate the mistakes I made and stop others from making them, then what the hell. At least I got to hang out with Wanda Jackson”.
The course takes place over six sessions beginning on 4 Apr and is £150 for MusicTank members, and £199 for others. For more info and such like check www.musictank.co.uk/events/courses/live-industry-course
