Generator Events brings together the current programmes, workshops, showcases and artist opportunities published on Generator’s official What’s On page. It sits in SoundBite’s Artist Area because these listings are aimed primarily at artists, musicians and people working across the music industry.
Generator is the North’s leading music development organisation. Since 1991, it has worked to develop artists, strengthen music businesses and create routes into the industry through mentoring, programmes, showcases, partnerships and major events. Based in the North of England, with offices in Newcastle and Tees Valley, its work connects grassroots talent with wider industry opportunities.
