Working in the grassroots music sector, the bedrock of our industry, comes with its challenges. New bands depend on independent venues, festivals, booking agents, other artists, managers, labels, and publishers to help them grow. These connections provide real opportunities for career development. But it’s not always easy— limited funding, tough competition, and the constant fight for visibility make breaking through difficult, especially in an industry where small to mid-sized players often struggle to stay afloat themselves.The main goal of LIME is to build a network that connects professionals working in the small to medium-sized live music sector, identify their challenges, share knowledge & start developing talent across borders.
