TakeOff is a project which supports regional and emerging promoter talent by exploring new business models, and opening 2Funky’s venues to alternative music ideas.

This project aims to provide new opportunities for promoters by developing their artistic and technical talent, as well as sharing knowledge and expertise of the music scene.

This is accomplished through:

• mentoring sessions.
• a fixed budget to programme and produce a live music event, with a high profile headline act and local support artists,
• gaining experience in marketing, budgeting, managing, producing and stage management.
• open access panel discussions from renowned industry experts.
  [Previous panel members include: Singer Natasha Watts, Music Producer Shaun Bailey, National Music Promoter Santi Medrano]
• development and marketing plans. This will give each promoter a personalised take-away template to support their practice going forward.
