Introduction to Launchpad and artist / industry development opportunities in Yorkshire

At this event, Launchpad project director Sam Nicholls (aka whiskas), will talk about the support Launchpad provides for those aiming to build a career in music throughout Yorkshire - including details of their grant-funded support that provides industry advice & mentoring, opportunities to perform live at festivals and events across the region, funding to support project and personal development, as well as for making new recordings.
