Event Details

Un-convention is a new music industry event.

It’s about being independent.

It’s about facing up to the current changing music scene and looking for innovative and creative solutions.

It’s about discussion, debate and most of all – meeting new people with different perspectives and sharing knowledge, experience and contacts.

 

Un-convention aims to be interactive and inspirational. It will begin with participants contributing to the online blog with their questions and ideas for the four panel areas – label; live; exposure; and innovation. The event will be organic and will be led by the participants as much as the panel guests.  

Un-convention brings together some of the most exciting voices in the music industry such as Huw Stephens (Radio One), Andrew Dubber (New Music Strategies), Dave Cooper (In House Press), Mike McNally (McNally Consulting), Michael Cassidy (i think music), Jay Taylor (Ruby Lounge), Nathan Sudders (The Whip), Jayne Compton (Switchflicker), plus many, many more….

 

Each night we will present the best new bands from around the UK.

 

Un-convention is organised by a collective of DIY and independent labels, promoters and bands for people in similar roles and organisations.
