Finally, There’s Speed Dating For The Music Industry

Although the music industry takes up most of the lives of those involved in it, sometimes people find time to blow off steam with a few other pursuits – social football, whisky clubs, house parties and the like.

Now (and some might say finally) there is speed dating for the time-poor music and creative industries.

Fast Impressions, who claim to being the world's largest singles event company, have been hosting a couple of events in Sydney's Surry Hills recently. According to them it's pretty straight-forward speed dating format – “a series of mini-dates with likeminded individuals in a similar age range.” Sparkling wine is also involved, we're told.

The nights are taking place under the banner of 'Media And Creative'. That covers music industry professionals as well as those in the areas of marketing, design and wider arts.

The next event is slated for Thursday 15 May at 7.15pm, for men aged 38-50 and women 34-46.

The capacity for the events in 36 (18 couples) and tickets cost $89.99.
