Social Events
MINT Music Networking Event
/mɪnt/
noun
1. an aromatic plant native to temperate regions of the Old World, several kinds of which are used as culinary herbs.
2. a peppermint sweet.
3. a place where coins, medals, or tokens are made.
4. a place where something is manufactured.
5. a vast sum or amount.
6. Something cool, spiffy, sweet, excellent.
MINT is a new Music Industry Networking event that happens the first Thursday of each month.
Our goal is to connect music industry professionals including but not limited to musicians, producers, funders, vocalists, marketing and PR professionals etc. We have found that it is hard to break into the current music industry culture and that there is not enough support for South African musicians at large or respect for those behind the scenes. Therefore, we would like to find ways to create our own opportunities and work and also provide work to others that are overlooked even though their excellence speaks volumes.
Date and Time: 4 July 2024, Thursday, 6pm – 9:15pm
Location: Gotcha Pizzeria
Hosted By: The Geek Gathering & Linden Night Shop and B Sharp Entertainment
