Local Dimensions Panel: Anton Noble, Dreadz, Leon Denton & Connor Osborne | MU Conference 2025

This panel discussion from the Musically Unorthodox (MU) Conference 2025 brings together local changemakers, artists, youth practitioners, and platform builders to explore how we better connect with, and support emerging talent in Northamptonshire and beyond. Moderated by Chris Cooke (Pathways Into Music Foundation), the conversation looks at what’s already working locally, what gaps still exist, and how we can join the dots between schools, community spaces, events, studios, youth services, and the music industry. 👥 Panelists include: • Anton Noble – Guiding Young Minds (youth violence prevention / mentoring) • Dreadz – Artist & promoter of Dready Jams • Leon Denton – Promoter / platform founder of Lay It Down • Connor Osborne – BBC Introducing presenter, DJ, and Youth Work lecturer Topics covered: • Building local platforms for artists to perform and grow • Community events as pathways, not just “nights out” • Supporting wellbeing, confidence, and creative expression • Practical music industry knowledge: royalties, publishing, PRS/PPL, clean edits for radio • Reaching young people outside mainstream education (including outreach & home learning) • How BBC Introducing can be a gateway to wider industry opportunities • Why collaboration comes before competition and how to create joined-up pathways If you’re an artist, educator, youth worker, or community organiser, this panel is packed with real talk, lived experience, and practical next steps. ==================================== 🌍 Join Us at MU Conference 2026 📅 Friday April 17th, 2026 Full info: www.muconference.com The Musically Unorthodox Conference returns with inspiring speakers, industry insights, and conversations focused on youth empowerment, creative pathways, and innovation in music and media. ==================================== 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more MU Conference talks, panels, and presentations. #MUConference #Northampton #BBCIntroducing #YouthWork #MusicIndustry #EmergingArtists #CreativePathways #CommunityMusic
