Wide Events: Online Exchange Connecting Scottish, Mexican & Welsh Industries

We’re hosting an online exchange to connect Scottish, Mexican and Welsh musicians and industry professionals. In partnership with Focus Wales and Mexico City record shop and label, La Roma Records, supported by the Four Nations International Fund, administered by Creative Scotland with co-investment from the UK’s arts councils and agencies of the four UK nations.

Taking place on 26 April, it will bring together 60 participants for a half-day, online event, which includes market presentations, low-speed meetings, match-making and artist introductions, and ends with a quiz. It will connect a cross-section of music media, music industry and export ready artists with the aim of developing collaborations, both remotely (e.g. licensing, media coverage, sync) and in-person collaborations (e.g. festivals, tours and song-writing camps).

The initiative with Mexico and Wales, follows collaborations with Dutch Music Export, as well as the online editions of c-o pop (Germany), SXSW and Focus Wales. These have led to invitations to host a Scottish presence when the in-person festivals returned, as well as Wide Days hosting both Welsh talent and Canadian event, Breakout West, as part of its Festival Takeover in Edinburgh (19-21 May).

There are a limited number of free places available for Scottish artists and industry to take part… find out more & apply 👉https://www.widedays.com/mexico-scotland-wales
