On Thursday July 22nd Creative
Lancashire have organised a special music industry event - 'SoundBytes'.
It is a full day of panel discussions, workshops, seminars, and
one-to-ones with some of the brightest movers and shakers within the
industry.
To coincide with this event They Eat Culture has put together a really exciting evening line-up at The Continental, South Meadow Lane - which is open to the general public. This includes the fabulous Mistys Big Adventure (from Birmingham), an exclusive screening of the new Mogwai 'Burning' documentary and much more too! To attend the day-time seminars/workshops (hosted at Avenham Pavillion) you do need to register, but be aware that places are extremely limited. For more information on what is on offer throughout the day, see below: Event Synopsis Following on from their previous music industry activity in Nelson and Blackburn, Lancashire County Council’s Creative Lancashire Team presents a series of workshops, surgeries and networking with current leading music industry practitioners. The day concludes with a key note discussion and Q&A session featuring Dave Haslam (Author & DJ), Mr Scruff (Ninja Tune), Jayne Compton (Switchflicker), Andy Votel (Twisted Nerve/Finders Keepers), Dave Pichilingi (Liverpool Sound City) and Liam Walsh (Ask me PR). The event is aimed at those already working or aspiring to work in the music industry and will address some of the current issues for industry professionals including:
Music, Regeneration & Place Making: Preston Context At this time Preston is a City with grand economic and cultural aspirations but since gaining City status, Preston has failed to fulfil its potential and ‘punch its weight’ when compared to cities in other parts of the region. Some influential decision makers are exploring the capacity for regeneration and place making through developing public realm arts projects, and the cultural/creative offer, including music, as a catalyst for change. The panel for the afternoon workshops will include Jode Steele & David Wainwright (Verbal Vigilante), Rachel Wood (Woodwork Music Limited), and will be facilitated by Pete Jenkinson (Music is Ours/Record Label Services), and Bruce Thomas (Modern English). Throughout the day there will be a limited number of surgeries available with our music industry mentor and other current leading industry practitioners - to apply for a surgery and a place on the Social Media Workshop please download this document: Surgeries and Social Media Workshop application form The Workshops will be followed by the Music - Industry Session. Tables with advisors drawn from across the industry will be positioned around the room. Delegates will be able to move from table to table to access the support they need from our music mentors, Vision+Media, Business Link, UKTI, The Musicians Union, PRS and others. The final panel discussion and Q&A will feature Dave Pichilingi (Liverpool Sound City), Andy Votel (Finders Keepers, Twisted Nerve, Graphic Designer & Lecturer), Andrew Carthy (Mr Scruff, Ninja Tune Records), Jayne Compton (Switchflicker Records), Karen Boardman (Crisis Management & Sound Investment), and Liam Walsh (Ask me PR), and.
