On Saturday May 25th, SelfMade will run a two-part event, sponsored by IMRO, looking at mental health in the Irish music scene and in particular the challenges affecting developing musicians in their professional and personal lives. There has been a huge step-up in the level of conversation on mental health in recent years and we’re proud to use our next event to encourage conversation, break the stigma, and facilitate a route to a healthier music industry.
Mind YourSelf: Mental Health and Music will be a two-part event, with a daytime workshop exploring the ‘'Inner Critic' along with an evening panel and performances. Psychotherapist and BIMM lecturer, Aoife Ruth, will be on board to host the workshop with Wyvern Lingo’s Caoimhe Barry. Along with Aoife and Caoimhe, our evening panel features Michael Pope from Le Galaxie, Maria Kelly, and Paddy Hanna, and will be hosted by Louise Bruton – music journalist and activist.
