Putting on events

*We are in the process of confirming a venue in the Cardiff area for this event. Please do reserve your place and once the venue is confirmed, we’ll contact you to let you know the details.*

The topic we receive the most queries about is PRS. What is PRS, how do you pay it and just why is it so complicated?

In this session, we’ll clear up some of the mysteries and help you to understand how, when and where you need to make your PRS payments.

We are delighted to invite you to join us under the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square on Tuesday 17 December, 5-6pm, to sing with us as part of our unique choir - the Making Music Christmas Stars.

An online presence is a vital part of your marketing strategy - but how can you make the most of the various platforms available to you? From websites to concert listings sites, Facebook to Twitter and Instagram, we'll discuss the ins and outs of creating and growing your online profile.

We'll talk about:

With music libraries under increasing threat of funding cuts, music for hire is becoming harder to find. What sources can you call upon and how can you support your local music library?

Hear from other local groups where they get their music from, and find out from Making Music what we have been doing to help keep music libraries alive in the UK.

From performing at gala days to connecting with the Make Music Day international festival, getting out of the concert hall and into public spaces can be a real boost to your group and members.
