The Sandford St Martin Awards are the UK’s most prestigious broadcast awards for radio, TV and online programmes that reflect religious, spiritual or ethical themes. They are the only awards that welcome entries about any and all faiths.

This Advanced Development Programme, in association with Bord Scannán na hÉireann/The Irish Film Board, was designed in response to industry feedback requesting a comprehensive skills-enhancement scheme for Development Executives and others working in development.

This course is aimed at those looking to develop skills in producing music, DJing and recording using Ableton. This is a course for those who have never used the software or are only starting out, so no previous knowledge of Ableton is required. Listening material/notes will be provided and the tuition will be tailored to the individual as much as possible. The tutor, Ruairi Lynch (Bantum), has been working with Ableton for nearly a decade and has steadily released electronic music under the Bantum moniker during this time.
