Unlock your music's potential
Are you a band or new music artist looking to break through? Opening Lines Media offers meticulously crafted PR and marketing services designed specifically for musicians.
We have a strong track record in music promotion, and recently secured international playlist placements, online blog reviews, and Scottish radio play for Idiogram's debut singles and album. Our work for Tracey Yarad's musical memoir at the Edinburgh Fringe resulted in substantial media coverage. We’ve also driven record attendance for Solas Festival, featuring a diverse lineup of musical acts. Last year we achieved a sold-out screening for the opera Pass The Spoon, and have handled PR for theatre productions with significant musical aspects including The Rosenberg/Strange Fruit Project and We Will Hear The Angels.
