Touring is complicated. There are so many things to keep track of, like line-ups, backline, transport, which venues to approach, budgets, accommodation... and all this before a chord’s even been strummed. July's instalment of SOUND ADVICE to the rescue!
Hosted by Mia Hull (FBi Radio) and featuring artist Loren Ryan, Rebecca Young (Collective Artists) and Tom Gordon (Yours & Owls), this panel will get you ready for whatever the road can throw at you, and will include an intro to MusicNSW’s game changing new tour planning tool, the Regional Touring Network (RTN).
Attendance to this Zoom panel is free with registration.
Live captioning will be available during the session. For any other access requirements please contact laura@musicnsw.com
