Make some noise at The Great Escape tomorrow
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 14 May 2010
Looking ahead to what’s still to come at The Great Escape now, and tomorrow we:LIVE, the newish association for independent venue owners and promoters, will be our hosts, which means there’ll be some interesting live music discussions in the programme.
Talking through some of tomorrow’s events, we:LIVE’s Dominique Czopor told CMU: “We kick off with a very current topic – the issue of noise. On the panel we’ll be chatting to the owners of [Brighton venue] Freebutt, who are currently facing serious issues concerning noise breakout, and discussing possible solutions for anyone facing issues with any types of noise disturbance at their premises”.
She continues: “We have also collaborated with Association Of Independent Festivals to present a panel bursting full of festival owners and agents that will be discussing the very current issue of ‘festival exclusivity’ [in headline act deals]”.
And finally: “One panel I advise every artist and manager to attend is the funding one. We hope to find out exactly how artists can access funding, and have some real experts on board to offer advice”.
And somewhere in among all that CMU Publisher Chris Cooke will be chatting to Alison Wenham, boss of the Association Of Independent Music, at 2.30pm. More at www.escapegreat.com, and look out for reports on the CMU News-Blog throughout today and tomorrow.
