Accent Music Education Hub has teamed up with Priestley College to develop ‘Gigcraft’; a series of resources, workshops and events to promote careers in the Music Industry.
Young musicians will learn how to stage their own concerts exploring all of the essential job roles and responsibilities along the way. Gigcraft is open to young musicians in Warrington and Halton from year 9 up to year 13.
Gigcraft Launch Event
Aspiring young musicians and event crew along with their parents are invited to join us for the FREE Gigcraft Launch Event on the bank holiday weekend Friday, 24th May, held as part of the Warrington Music Festival in Golden Square Shopping Centre. This dynamic event (4:00 PM – 9:00 PM) features:
- Industry Insights: Gain invaluable knowledge on getting your music heard on sites such as Spotify and Apple Music, securing gigs, and cultivating a dedicated fanbase.
- Live Soundcheck Masterclass: Witness a live demonstration and performance led by industry professionals, unveiling the intricate processes involved from equipment setup to the electrifying moment of showtime. Glean practical knowledge from sound engineers, stage managers, musicians, and seasoned tour managers.
Gigcraft Summer Programme
Following the launch event, young people will have the opportunity to sign-up for the FREE Gigcraft Summer Programme; a series of skills training and hands on workshops in June and July leading to concerts and events devised, organised and run by the young people themselves.
