MMF Live: Register Your Act

MMF Live operates in a similar way to an agency, facilitating bookings through our connections to local venues, organisations and individuals, to enable MMF to respond to the various enquiries it receives.
We are developing a database of performers or groups/bands from MMF tutors, alumni and students and need your talent to help build this database! If you have an act, band or solo professional setup, we would love to be able to help provide you with professional work.
MMF Live will create a sustainable model for access to employment opportunities amongst our Tutor base and alumni as they reach professional working ages. Proceeds from MMF Live will go towards supporting MMF’s TEMPO Fund, ensuring access to learning for the next generation of gigging musicians.
