Sound Industry Conference Hosted By Bristol Women In Music, Kate Simko Performing

Imagine one day in one of the UK's most creative cities with some of the top names in the music industry on hand for discussions, talks, interviews, performances and workshops. That's Sound Industry.  

Hosting the first Sound Industry conference in the UK will be Bristol Women in Music. This event includes plethora of discussions, talks, interviews, and workshops with some of the top luminaries of the music industry. It's not one to be missed.

As if that wasn't enough, Kate Simko + London Electronic Orchestra (you can read our interview with Kate from October 2015) will be performing in the evening.

Here's the full details about this excellent event held in the South West of the UK.

WHAT: Sound Industry is a brand new music conference which aims to challenge and inspire individuals working across all aspects of the music business. The conference will host some of the UK’s leading music industry professionals in a day-long programme of thought-provoking panel discussions, workshops, and talks. In the evening there will be a performance by Kate Simko + London Electronic Orchestra.

WHY: Too often, the music industry as a whole can feel like it is directed at - and run by - a very narrow demographic of people; Sound Industry’s mission is to represent something more diverse.

In addition to examining the business side of careers in music, Sound Industry will be looking at the profession from a human perspective, with a particular spotlight on issues of musical diversity, equality, wellbeing and politics.
