Above The Noise is Bristol’s new music industry event designed for anyone actively working in music to connect them with the modern music industry and provide inspiration, advice, and insight they need to boost their professional skills.

Over the course of the day, you’ll get to hear from top industry experts from AIM’s independent music network, key music support organisations including PRS Foundation, Help Musicians, and many others, through a series of specially curated talks and workshops.
