Music Industry Yorkshire
Based in Yorkshire? Work or want to work in any sector of the music industry? You can join Music Industry Yorkshire for free
Being a member of Music Industry Yorkshire provides access to music business info, resources and exclusive opportunities. MIY launched as Yorkshire’s music industry development network in 2010 so we’ve relaunched and added some useful free support-tools to this new website, designed to support the whole music industry in all its shapes and sizes, and focussing just on Yorkshire.
MIY members who also offer a music service / run a music business can now list this on the MIY website (for free), and anyone who needs a professional music service can come here to find one (without being a member). You can also use the MIY site to search for or post music industry jobs (including apprenticeships and volunteer opportunities), or browse music industry support events in the Yorkshire region.

Festival opportunities for 2025
Many of 2025's music festivals are currently accepting artist submissions.
The PRS website has a useful and frequently updated guide to festivals currently taking submissions: please see here.
If you receive an invitation to play at an international showcase, you can apply for funding through PRS Foundation’s International Showcase Fund.
For UK festivals, it may be possible for the Employability and Enterprise team to provide some support with expenses – please drop us a line at EaE@lcm.ac.uk.

Humbug Radio - Presenters (Unpaid)
Humbug Radio is a new Internet station aimed squarely at the 50+ demographic. We are quirky, irreverent, funny and, hopefully, wise. We play great music from the 60s-Noughties, but we're not just a music station, so regular DJs need not apply. Instead, we're looking for people with life experience, stories to tell, fluency and, above all, a cracking sense of humour. We have weekday and weekend slots available. Experience with voice tracking on Myriad would be helpful.
Our current roster is comprised largely of white males so we are very interested in people who don't fit this template, in particular mature presenters, male and female, with diverse and unusual backgrounds.
This year we’re piloting a new programme to support our students from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds and we need graduates to help.
We’re on the look out for graduates who have some shared experiences with these students to act as coaches and give them some support.
Coaches will be paid for their time.
