ABOUT

Let's be real. A lot of musicians find admin tedious and could do with a little more know-how on some aspects that come with being a musician, which aren't - you know - making music.
 
1 | Are you a musician? Singer? In a band?
2 | Do you take your sh*t seriously?
3 | Do you want a free beer?
4 | Then join us! (It's Free.)
 
Plug & Play Sessions will connect you with people that have the essential knowledge you need so you can navigate the music industry like a boss.
 
In an informal small table setting (think speed-dating), you'll get to make instant industry connections and learn what you need to know about topics like selling out your gigs, building a fan base, making your marketing reach further, etc. Check the "this edition" tab to see this month's speakers and topics!

There will also be a showcase jam space during the event to give you a chance to play a few pieces, so everyone from other genres and the industry can hear what you're up to. Please note there are only a handful of slots available for this. And remember...

It's all FREE! (Why? Well.. We kinda maybe really want to make the industry better, or something like that.)
 
To get your ticket (you need one) and to get your free Drifter beer on the night, make sure you book your spot now.

SHOWCASE JAM

During the event, there will also be a showcase jam space with limited slots to give you a chance to play a few pieces, so everyone from other genres and the industry can hear what you're up to.

If you would like to play a showcase slot, just let us know that you would like us to contact you in the form when you book your ticket.

PLEASE NOTE: 
• The space is small so leans towards a more "unplugged" setup.
• There are limited slots, but if all showcase slots for this edition of Plug & Play Sessions are already full, we'll give you a shout for the next one!
