Music:Leeds Launchpad Panel was scheduled to be the opening discussion at their Launchpad Conference on 28th March – and they have now decided to move this talk online, stream it live, for free, at 7 pm on Wednesday 8th April through their Facebook & YouTube pages.

The panel is hosted by Emily Pilbeam (BBC Music Introducing, Pilbeam Presents) and features four artists who were selected from their Launchpad Open Call in 2019. The panellists have also benefited from a wide range of support from other organisations and funders including Jazz North, Black Music Festival, Help Musicians, PRS Foundation and Arts Council England.

Panellists:
Emma Mason (Galaxians)
Jemma Freese (freese trio, DOMI, J Frisco)
Armani Anderson-Hamilton (Marnz)
Lins Wilson (Magick Mountain, Music:Leeds)

The artists will discuss the paths they have taken to get to where they are now, how they approached applying for support and how they’ve developed over the last year.
