BIMM and Crack partner up in series of talks on breaking into music industry
Some of the most influential and inventive voices in the music industry today are involved in a series of talks hosted by Bristol Institute of Music (BIMM) and Crack Magazine.
Ciara Elwis, the Emmy-winning music supervisor known for shows such as Netflix’s Sex Education, BBC Three’s I May Destroy You, and Channel 4’s Derry Girls, kicked things off with a conversation about music supervision for television and how to get the most out of music on screen.
Scheduled to run over the next few weeks, the events are open to students and the general public and are free to attend.

Discussing Tuesday’s event, the Crack team said: “Hearing about the creativity and detail that goes into getting great music on TV was really engaging and inspiring. We’ve no doubt the rest of the series will follow suit.”

Taking to social media, Crack said: “We’re really proud to be working with BIMM on this series of talks. The music industry is incredibly fast-moving so building a space for practical conversations about career paths and routes to success is something which feels more important than ever.”
The next two talks are taking place at BIMM’s Bristol Passage Street Campus on Tuesday, March 29 and Tuesday, April 5. They will be moderated by journalists with a chance for the audience to ask questions at the end.
All talks are free to attend to students and members of the public. You can attend by RSVP-ing with the subject line: BIMM: DD/MM to bimm@crackmagazine.net
