Blueprint is a free workshop meant for music makers and will be held on 17th June at The Glee Club, Castle Wharf, in Nottingham. It is coming to Nottingham Events, as part of a nationwide series of workshops for songwriters and musicians. The workshop will feature speakers from major organisations, including CMU:DIY, TuneCore, PRS For Music and others.
The free workshop intends to help music makers with tips and best practice, provide information on some of the best tools and services available, to understand successful music distribution and to promote music. Speakers from the industry include Chris Cooke from the CMU Daily, Musician’s Union’s Ben Benson, Sam Taylor from Tune Core, Stuart Belsham from PRS For Music and Dom Gourlay from Drowned in Sound.
Effective management of the digital music scenario is an area gaining increasing importance and that is valuable for musicians. Music streaming earnings for musicians registered 85% growth last year over a 12 month period and growth of streaming in UK is growing by 84%. Sam Taylor says Blueprint helps them to meet and provide artists with local tools and resources that are needed to become successful and increase earnings of musicians and songwriters. He added that they will be discussion on everything from music publishing to royalty collection, on how to access streaming platforms like YouTube, Deeser, Google Play, Apple iTunes, Spotify and Tidal, and about dispelling away myths around digital distribution. The workshop has free entry and starts at 1:00pm on the Saturday.
