The Sound of the North: A New Gateway for UK Music
The North of England is uniting beyond London to put fresh talent on the global stage. Through bold collaboration across regions, the North is becoming the UK’s new gateway for music export - opening doors for artists and creating stronger links with Europe’s audiences, festivals, and industry. MusicFutures invites you to join us to discuss the pros and cons of regionally delivered export activities and to find out more about our plans for a UK Northern Music Export Office.
