Scotland’s leading music business night, Born To Be Wide, will be hosting a seminar devoted to festivals and the opportunities they offer emerging artists. Taking place at Edinburgh’s Electric Circus on Thursday 2 February, it will detail the selection process, fees, what artists are offered in terms of promotion and how to get the most out of the opportunity.
Among the confirmed guests will be goNORTH Director Shaun Arnold, who will be discussing showcasing at goNORTH and the associated goNORTH Festival Tour. Other panellists include DF Concerts Dave Corbet (T In The Park/ The Edge Festival), Katch Holmes (Knockengorroch) and Gordon Reilly (Insider).
“Festivals offer a great platform for emerging acts to reach new audiences,” said Born To Be Wide co-organiser, Olaf Furniss. “This event will provide a unique insight into what festivals offer, and will also give musicians the opportunity to meet the bookers. We recommend people bring their CDs!“
