The Dorset Music Forum (DMF) is a not-for-profit organisation focused on the development and growth of Dorset’s vast and highly talented music industry. Whether you are a promoter, a band, musician or venue, DMF provides support and greater access to the music industry.

DMF has set the following 5 objectives:

• To provide education, advice to individuals and organisations and run seminars on all aspects of the music industry across Dorset and the South West.
• To encourage economic development, greater investment and identify development opportunities within the Dorset and the South West Music Industry
• To establish links with other Music Development Organisations and Music Industry bodies nationally and internationally.
• To develop an infrastructure for music in Dorset and the South West and promote Dorset to regional, national and international audiences.
• To advise and encourage our peers on attending national and international music conferences and events and to promote and assist in the export of music from Dorset to other areas and different countries.

DorsetMusic.com is the central hub for the music industry across Dorset and is the first place to go for information on DMF's work. The interactive website offers a fully automated system that allows anyone who is organising events or performing in the Dorset area to upload the event details free of charge, providing access to the easy to view event listings, buy tickets and submit photos from events.

DMF is creating a community through the provision of advice, support, networking and events.
