Music digital sales seminar
With digital sales now accounting for one fifth of all music purchases, distributing music online has become a key challenge for musicians and record labels alike.
A free seminar is set to discuss how Yorkshire music businesses can take advantage of online opportunities.
Representatives from online retailer We7, distribution and licensing service AWAL (Artists Without A Label) and indie distributer Ditto Music will talk about the shifting face of the music industry and how this affects DIY artists and labels alike.
Plugged In Yorkshire, a network of music businesses from across the region, will host the free event at The Carriageworks, Leeds on Wednesday 22nd September at 6-8pm.
Musicians and music businesses will be able to benefit from the experience of Steve Purdham (We7), Paul Bower (AWAL) and Lee Parsons (Ditto Music) as they share their knowledge and experience and discuss opportunities and challenges facing the industry.
The seminar will feature advice on how musicians and labels can promote and distribute their music online, licensing deals and revenue models.
