Make It Happen is a free event featuring a hand-picked panel offering practical advice for songwriters, artists, managers, labels and more in the context of today's music industry.
Presented by the Welsh Music Foundation in association with Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council’s Cultural Services and PRS For Music, as part of the Designs for Life Programme, this day-long event will see a number of sessions taking place at the Muni Arts Centre, Pontypridd, on Saturday 17th of July.
In the afternoon there will be advice for bands, musicians and budding music journalists, through a special interactive workshop with Fakerocker, who will be giving advice on promoting your band to the media, as well as interview and promotional techniques. The ‘Promote & Plug’ session will cater to those interested in music journalism, giving practical advice on interviewing musicians and approaching media outlets, and will feature an introduction from ‘Plugged In’ Magazine – the music magazine for Wales based in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
