Conor Scott Visits Access Thru Music

Look who came to visit us!! The very talented Conor Scott came to Armstrong NI to visit our excited group of young people in the Access Thru Music course.
He answered a lot of questions that our young people had and also gave great advice, we heard a lot about his experiences over the last year after being on 'The Voice' and we were even lucky enough to recieve an amazing performance of a new song that he is working on! 
Our group loved the visit and gained a lot from the advice and help Conor gave. 

A huge Thank you to Conor from everyone here at Armstrong NI!



Create Your Career - Press Release

In Partnership with GeneratorNI, the Music Business Support Programme for Northern Ireland is coming to the Oh Yeah Centre on 15th November 2013 as part of Belfast Music week. There will be a series of mentoring clinics running from 6pm to 7pm open to all musicians who can attend. The clinics are free of charge and support by GeneratorNI who are funded by the Department of Culture, Arts & Leisure along with InvestNI. This is a unique opportunity to have a face to face mentoring session with industry leaders and discuss your own career and how they might help you gain a foothold or further your career within the music industry. Clinics will be available in songwriting, publishing, electronic music/DJ, and artist management. These sessions will be quickly filled so it is best to book early to avoid disappointment.

In addition to the clinics ArmstrongNI's indie record label management team will be running an open Demo Surgery; a chance for artists of all genre's to pitch their music to the record label A&R team but also get advice on how to get signed and develop their fanbase. Again this is by booking only so its best to book a slot with the BMR team asap.


Remember, you can still pick up a copy of our NEW magazine which is free!!
