Following on from the success and popularity of our exclusive music speed dating session in 2003, we are pleased to announce a second speed date event, this time for urban music entrepreneurs at the Prince's Trust Urban Festival. Taking place at Earls Court on May 8 & 9, 2004, MusicTank is to give you a one-off opportunity to have a 15 minute 1:1 with an expert from the recording industry, artist management, publishing, PR & marketing or legal.
The sessions are aimed at small urban businesses, entrepreneurs and artists going it alone. There's nothing like this in the urban calendar so places will go fast. Click here to apply for a speed date session, only after having read the important notes below.
Important Notes
MusicTank is presenting the opportunity for urban music business entrepreneurs and business-minded urban artists working in East London to access music business advice at a unique music business speed dating session, May 8/9 2004, at Earls Court.
Part of the Prince's Trust Urban Music weekend, this will enable qualifying candidates the opportunity to have a private 1:1 business session with an expert in marketing & PR, label management, music publishing, artist management and legal/busines affairs.
The purpose is to give practical music business advice to assist entrepreneurs and artists working in urban music genres.
