Music Industry on the Agenda #DNskillsfest

The music industry is a growth sector worth over £4.4 billion to the UK economy, growing year on year, and Higher Rhythm, believe that anyone, anywhere, with the correct support and determination, can play a part in this National success story.

We are therefore excited to announce that we are putting the music industry firmly on the agenda at this year’s DN Skills Fest being held on 7th February at The Dome, Doncaster.
Organised by Doncaster Chamber and Doncaster Skills Academy,

DN Skills Fest will see over 1500 local young people visiting on the day to find out more about their further education and career options. As well as presenting a stand about the music industry career options available through both of our professional music industry facilities in Doncaster, such as our new BTEC National Diploma we will also be presenting a panel of music industry experts discussing the ever expanding range of roles and careers now available in the music industry.
The panel will feature:
Timm Cleasby – Operation Director Tramlines Festival,
Skinny Pelembe – locally raised music artist signed to a global record deal (and cited as one of the UK’s most exciting new music prospects),
Simon Benger- Music Relationship Manager at Arts Council England,
Bex Ransom, Creative Programme Officer at Help Musicians UK.
The panel will also be compared by Christian Carlisle, presenter and producer at BBC Introducing South Yorkshire.
The experts will share their experience and tips about employment in the modern music industry and the things you need to do to secure a career in it, also answering any questions from the audience.

The panel will start at 10am, it’s free to enter, and it will be perfectly pitched for young people considering their career options, or even for teachers or careers advisors who need better information for signposting young people to the music industry.
