Beats Working For A Living is an informal day of music talks and workshops aimed at providing musicians with advice on how to make a career from music.

Taking place at The Roco in Sheffield on Thursday 17 March and presented by SensoriaPro, the event will bring together local industry experts as well as representatives from PRS for Music and Arts Council England (ACE) providing one-to-one advice.

Representatives from a label (Cath Hurley, Rough Trade), artist manager (Sarah Brooksbank, The League (International)) and Sophie Townsend (freelance music consultant) will discuss their experiences in the business.

The likes of Winston Hazel (Kabal, DJ) and Nigel Humberstone (In The Nursery, Sensoria) will discuss the city’s DIY culture while another talk will explore the local music scene and the city’s reputation for exporting bands and artists.

According to organisers, the event will be followed by live music and networking.

Tickets are free and can be booked via the EventBrite page.
