Nusic - Show Me The Money

Nusic - Show Me The Money

Nusic have brought you brilliant podcasts and live sessions from the best up and coming acts to storm out of Nottingham. But now, with new support from Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies (Confetti ICT), Nusic are launching a brand new initiative which aims to further support our vibrant music scene.

The basis of the Nusic CO-OPerative venture is to help Nottingham’s musicians achieve their dreams for less than the cost it would usually take. It plans to connect musicians with members of the creative community who want to support the local music scene via discount services.

For example Confetti ICT's own Electric Mayhem studios will be offering local musicians under 25 years old the chance to record their first track free of charge . 

Local design business Adaption Graphics, photographers Onehaus Collective, and branding company Fast Graphics are among those local businesses offering major discounts. LeftLion are even offering half-price adverts to unsigned musicians.

Craig Chettle,
Managing Director of Confetti

Craig Chettle, Managing Director of Confetti ICT, said: “The local music scene has always been close to my heart and Confetti has always been at the centre of it, so I am delighted to be able to partner with Nusic to push things even further forward. The Nusic CO-OPerative is a great initiative, and all free!”

Nusic’s mission is to help a Nottinghamshire artist get to Number One in the charts, and as part of this they hold a series of workshops and seminars that bring expert speakers together. They then focus on a particular area where local musicians want more knowledge such as ‘how to get press coverage’ or ‘how to build a fanbase’.

However the launch of the Nusic CO-OPerative will start a discussion on ways of saving money such as how to get that rehearsal space, logo, and everything else needed for less. The panel discussion will focus on ways of generating revenue such as registering for PRS (the scheme that pays musicians for being played on the radio).

If you are a musician, or if you’re just interested in our great music scene, you can take advantage of the benefits of the Nusic CO-OPerative by going to the Show Me The Money workshop on Tuesday 18 October, held at Confetti’s Antenna venue.

Starting at 5.30 pm the FREE Nusic Money Workshop will feature:

Ste Allan - Repping with former
Home Secretary Jack Straw

STE ALLAN
Dealmaker Records head honcho will be giving advice on PRS (getting paid for being played on the radio, at gigs etc)

MARK DEL

No doubt the discussion will be invaluable to local musicians, acts and music lovers
who dream of reaching that Notts Number One.
