Get feedback from Columbia Record's A&R Scout - Xavi Conroy

A&R Sessions - What are they?

NOT ANOTHER TALK PANEL!

The A&R sessions are conversational interviews with some of the biggest Artists/Producers/A&R Scouts/Publishers/Labels/Managers in the music industry. Hosted in front of a live audience, they are a nurturing and positive space to receive feedback on your music from professionals working commercially within the music industry. It’s a must-attend for anyone wishing to pursue a career in music behind the scenes or center stage. Attendees will receive an eventbrite email before the event with a google form to submit their music for feedback. On the night, attendees are entered into a draw where we listen to around twenty songs every session!
