Irish Speakers

Panel:

POST-BREXIT POP Where do we go from here?

Five years after Brexit, the music and touring industry faces clear challenges, with new barriers for UK and EU musicians to tour and grow.

A panel, featuring Angela Dorgan and drawing on Musicians’ Union research, will explore key issues like booking UK bands, supporting smaller acts, and the economic impact on the sector.

The discussion will focus on collaboration and future policies to support the music industry.
