Torch programme

De-mystifying the music business

The four week breakdown

  • Mixing Desk

    Making the Music & Becoming Release-Ready

    By the end, participants should understand how rights, revenue, and readiness intersect — and what practical steps they can take to get their next release legally, financially, and creatively sound.

  • Native James at Skindred

    Gigging, Live Music & Building a Real Audience

    Attendees leave understanding how gigs actually work — booking, deals, economics, momentum — and walk out with a realistic plan to get shows, get paid fairly, and grow a real audience in the physical world.

  • Social Media

    Finding Your Audience Online

    Cut through the nonsense and give artists a clear picture of what actually works online — not “go viral,” but consistency, clarity, and relationships.

  • Moving forward with intention

    Moving Forward With Intention

    Everyone leaves with a grounded understanding of what “the next step” actually looks like — management, labels, publishing, collaboration, touring and realistic planning — and a clear direction for the next 3–6 months.
