DMC 2020 - A Post-COVID World

26 Sep 20
by Billie Jones
Dumfries Music Conference

Trad Music Trust's Project Co-ordinator & Festival Director, Nathon Jones, has been invited to speak at this year's Dumfries Music Conference to discuss the general concerns facing the industry and how the charity is attempting to overcome those challenges.

The 'A Post-COVID World' panel includes speakers from a range of creative industries - artists, organisers and managers - and it's aim is to look at how we survive during this crisis, what help is available, how we can support each other and how the industry can progress from here.

It will be aired over the weekend of Dumfries Music Conference which, this year, is being delivered online over 15-17 October and, as well as the panel discussions, also features film, workshops, Q&As, live music and exhibition.
