At Music Connections, we are dedicated to developing and showcasing the vibrant and diverse music community in Northern Ireland. Our mission is to bring attention to the outstanding contributions of local artists and venues, and spotlight the range of professional development events that can help you to grow in your career.

This section of our platform is designed to spotlight notable showcases as well as networking and educational events, rather than serving as a comprehensive gig guide. We aim to shine a light on exceptional, often free or unticketed, events that celebrate and support the eclectic nature of our music culture.

Whether it’s a unique live performance, a special showcase or festival, a session on the business of music, or a community music gathering, we want to ensure that these events receive the attention they deserve. Our goal is to promote and support the local music scene by providing visibility to a wide range of events that highlight the talent and creativity within our community.

If you know of an event or initiative that you believe deserves wider recognition, we encourage you to reach out to us. Please send details to news@musicconnections.com, and we’ll be glad to consider it for inclusion in our spotlight.
