Opening the door. This is the workshop that you may not want to miss! If you are a musician, music student, tertiary student studying Music Business, artist wanting to understand the industry or you have a dream to work in the industry this workshop could help you get a foot in the door. “It would be impossible for an artist of industry student to get access to all the key people in the industry for a one-on-one download of their knowledge and experience”, said Andrew Watt. “Welcome To The Jungle – both the book and the workshop – bridges that gap and it’s fantastic that the Frankston Arts Centre was able to bring this Workshop to Cube 37”
To celebrate the launch of the book Andrew is holding a special Workshop event in Frankston on Sunday 22 June at Cube 37 Frankston Arts Centre. Tickets are $25.00 inc GST. Workshop bookings can be made at thefac.com.au or on 03 9784 1060.
