Resonate have announced the return of their popular, free, monthly networking events, taking place in Glasgow’s Barras Art & Design Centre (BAaD).

The Music Conference organisers wish to welcome everyone working across the musical spectrum; from artists to managers, promoters to DJs, labels and other music enthusiasts for a relaxed night of networking and live music.

Attendees are encouraged to step up to the open mic and test out new material, or blast out a favourite cover, or simply soak up the atmosphere and hopefully some sun in the stripped-back yet modern surroundings of BAaD.

The event is free to attend and will run from 7:00 pm at BAaD, G40 2SB. No tickets are required, just show up on the night. For accessibility requirements please contact the organisers on info@23rdprecinctmusic.com

Resonate is holding this event in the run up to their conference, which will host an array of panels, workshops, demonstrations, round tables and one to one sessions. This year Resonate Conference will take place on 23 November 2023, and Early Bird tickets are now available.
