Conference on music industry coming to Cork

A new music industry conference is to be held in Cork this summer, with speakers to include the head of the record label behind Mumford & Sons and Florence and the Machine, along with the agents for bands like Muse and Coldplay.

The organisers behind the Music Cork conference say the event “will create a unique opportunity in Ireland to listen to some of the best industry professionals talk about their work and experiences, see the best new talent perform and enjoy plenty of opportunities to network with speakers and delegates over three days of intimate social gatherings and shows”.

The event, which will take place on May 10 to 20, will also showcase new Irish artists in a series of shows over two days.
