Hungry for a career in the restaurant industry? Passionate about film, but hazy on how things work behind the camera? Maybe, you’ve just graduated from a creative degree and you’re pondering your next steps. Enter Time Out Talks: Work Wonders. Next month, we’re kicking off a series of five panel talks, hosted by Time Out editors. Each session is a deep dive into an industry that we love, with expert panellists sharing their insights into the challenges and opportunities in their fields – and tips on how to get in there. 

Of course, you don’t have to be planning a career change to come along – after all, who doesn’t want to hear stories from the likes Akua Gyamfi, founder of the British Blacklist, a platform that champions Black British creatives across the arts.  

Tickets are just £5, and hosted at Samsung KX at Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross. Doors open at 6.30pm, with the talks running from 7-8pm. Have your questions at the ready – and prepare to feel your possibilities expand…

In the past decade, the music industry in London has transformed. Streaming services have become power houses. Online fandoms and social media networks (see: TikTok) are creating stars. Digital radio has exploded. Virtual gigs have become a thing. The result? Traditional jobs in the industry have transformed and whole new roles have been created. If you're trying to make your first steps towards a career in music, it can be hard to know where to start. This chat will hopefully be the antidote to that. For our last Time Out Talk: Work Wonders, Time Out's executive editor Kate Lloyd will talk to four pros who all do different behind-the-scenes roles to chat about how to get into the industry and succeed in 2021.
