Social Media Cafe

Musicians

social musicians getting organised

There are a number of musicians who are gathering around the social media cafe, so it seems like there might be a call to get something together, whatever it might be.

Who

Musicians of any kind who might express an interest:

Events So Far -

A few of us met up at the Heights Restaurant on 21st May - Steve Lawson, Lobelia, LJ Rich, Lloyd Davis, along with a couple of others who haven't listed themselves here, and some other 'musician-friendly' social media types... Seemed to comprise of a lot of disparate conversations, and I (Steve) can only speak for myself, but it was really nice getting to chat about the mash-up of social media and music, with that as the focus of the conversation... A fun start, something to get us rolling!
