The Great Escape 2011
TGE Previews: ACUMEN Legal Soundcheck
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 7 April 2011
Every day in CMU this month we’ll be previewing a different session taking place at this year’s CMU-programmed Great Escape convention, which takes place from 12-14 May at the Brighton Dome.
And today, another highlight from our masterclass programme, the short focused sessions offering valuable advice and insights on specific topics aimed at those at the start of their music business careers – so self-releasing artists, or those who have just started managing bands, running a label or promoting events. Brighton-based law firm ACUMEN MEDIA LAW, who last night staged a great networking event in Brighton where CMU and TGE hosted a little music business debate, will be part of this programme, running a ‘Legal Soundcheck’ event.
If you are a self-releasing artist, or are managing a band for the first time, or are running a small music company, welcome to the worlds of contracts, employment, copyright and business management. But what does all that mean? Lots of legal stuff, that’s what, and for 45 minutes on day one of TGE you’ll have the expertise of the ACUMEN team – including MD Penina Shepherd – on hand offering all sorts of advice in all these areas.
The ACUMEN Legal Soundcheck takes place on the first morning of the convention, Thursday 12 May. To get your full delegates pass for just £125, register now at escapegreat.com
