…emerging music…

The Model is looking for locally based (sligo.leitrim) emerging musicians and producers to form a peer led support group to occasionally meet and discuss their work. The Model can offer space to meet, advice on funding opportunities and alternative supports, as identified by the group, to advance music making in the northwest. If you think you might be interested email aoifeflynn@modelart.ie. This is an open call and all practicing musicians in all genres are invited to get in touch with ideas for what is most needed/useful to them.
