Life at BIMM

The UK’s second city is packed with vibrancy and culture, boasting a buzzing creative quarter, beautiful canals, a strong musical heritage and a dynamic local music scene – yep, we’re talking about Birmingham.

The city is a hive of activity all year round but especially in the spring and summer, with Brighton Pride, Brighton Rocks International Film Festival, The Great Escape, Brighton Fringe and other festivals drawing musicians, creatives and industry professionals to the city.

This West Country city has a fiercely independent spirit and is alive with inspiration and culture. A place where music and art come together to form a diverse creative community – and it’s waiting for you to become a part of it.

Music is part of London’s DNA: in the clubs, pubs, venues, and even the streets. From the Swinging ’60s, Sex Pistols and the punk movement of the 1970s and 80s, to today’s thriving grime and rap scenes with Mercury Prize winners Little Simz and Dave, London caters to everyone’s tastes.

Manchester’s cultural calendar reveals a city with world-leading arts events everywhere, from huge venues like Aviva Studios to more intimate independent spots tucked away from the city centre.

This is where one of the most diverse and welcoming music scenes in the world unites with endless creativity and possibilities for collaboration. Ask a local what Berlin is like and they’ll say it’s experimental, creative and always accepting.

Welcome to Dublin: a city with music at its very core. Every night of the week, you’ll hear the sound of live music pulsing across the city.
