PANEL - LIMF

PANEL

ON Record Panel Inner


The ON RECORD PANEL brings together a group of people from across the music sector to look at the past, present and future of black music in the city. A wide range of topics will be covered including questions around whether the city does enough to celebrate its black music heritage. If not, what needs to be done to address this to ensure that the history of black music features in the city’s music narrative going forward. Why isn’t there a greater recognition of the influence of black music on The Beatles?

Moving on to the present day the panel will also look at the strength of black music in the city at the moment, what support is available and what are the challenges artists have to overcome to further their career.

Finally looking to the future, what needs to be done to ensure that local black music talent has the appropriate infrastructure in Liverpool to ensure that artists have confidence that they can build a sustainable career from the city.
