In this latest episode, we are joined by south London rapper Novelist who has curated this Violet Nights event. Tonight's event is all about being an independent, DIY creative in the music business and features Novelist and his friends from the industry. We hear from Dom Dronska, Senior Digital Manager at Abbey Road Studios, Rinse grime and drill DJ Oblig and it's hosted by artist, producer and Reprezent Radio host Shemz. What are your thoughts? What does the next generation of DIY artists and makers mean to you? Get involved using #violetnights or @southbankcentre on social media. Let us know also, what you think of the podcast series - we’d love you to follow us or write a review. Violet Nights, the monthly event held at Southbank Centre in London is a real-life forum for conversations which usually happen online; with music, performance and discussion in front of a live audience. And, if you’re between 18 and 25 you can apply for a spot on our free two day podcast making course. If you love them and want to know how to make one, on this two-day course you’ll learn how to plan, make and share your own podcast, by working on actual episodes of Violet Nights. If that sounds cool, head to the Southbank Centre website or search Southbank Violet Nights and we should pop up. That’s also the place to get tickets to our future Violet Nights events. It’s all free!
