Once again this year, M for Montreal will be presenting showcases and networking activities at major UK events in Edinburgh, Wales and Brighton. A number of Canadian artists will have the chance to take to the stage at Wide Days, FOCUS Wales and The Great Escape. These three key events are also important business hubs for music industry professionals looking for new talent.
THE GREAT ESCAPE —MAY 15-18, 2024
The M pour Montréal team will be making a final stop in Brighton to present showcases as part of The Great Escape.
On May 16, starting at noon at Patterns, start the day off right with the “What’s 14,000 kilometers between friends?” reception organized by M for Montreal and the New Zealand Music Commission, in collaboration with DIY Magazine! Pimm’s cup and smoothie bowls, an essential for any seaside event, will be served from noon onwards to refresh you.
Next up are the indescribable supergroup Mock Media, made up of members of Crack Cloud, N0V3L, Pottery and Painted Group, Choses Sauvages, a Montreal sextet with an inexhaustible disco-punk groove, La Sécurité and renowned Toronto rapper Haviah Mighty, winner of the 2019 Polaris Prize for her album The 13th Floor.
