Case Studies
The Music Week
Through our events and promotions arm The Music Week we continue to invest in local music industry development.
We delivered the first The Music Week events in 2007, and then built on this to present our first localised series of events in March 2008, delivering Doncaster Music Week an exciting week of free seminars and events at venues across the town, providing over 600 places for local aspiring industry professionals to gain a unique insight into how to get ahead in the music industry.
In May 2008 we delivered the first Doncaster Music Week Xtra event, featuring Ellie from Polydoor records who delivered a workshop session at higher rhythm for 20 local musicians on the role of A&R in the music industry

The Music Week has now evolved into an important 'hub' to provide access exclusive gigs / industry events and keep in touch with what's happening in the music business, and our website now provides online ticket distribution for venues and events of all sizes, removing all the management from the process to help live events become more successful.
Doncaster NDC were sponsors of Doncaster Music Week 2009 (20th to 27th March), which again, as well as helping many local musicians learn how to turn their music into money through a week of seminars, workshops advice sessions and gigs, encouraged inward investment by making use of venues in Doncaster town centre and throughout the NDC area. As with previous local music weeks, the number of businesses created and the revenue earned by musicians through airplay as a direct result of Doncaster Music Week makes the investment in this flagship regional music industry event, a sound one (pardon the pun) for the local musical, creative and general economies alike.
The work continues...
