EMMA member – Keith Harris (MMF UK) undertook in October training workshops in Portugal in the cities of Lisbon, Coimbra and Porto. The seminars were organised by AMAEI – the Professional Association for Musicians and Artists independent labels and publishers in Portugal. The aim of the seminars was to provide guidance about what management involves and when an artist should be looking to get management involved, in these times of DIY releases. Each class involved about twenty managers and was driven by the questions of the participants, who were at varying stages in their careers, but who were generally keen to get an international perspective on artists’ management.
