“Jim Mawdsley (Generator), Keith Harris (PPL), Trevor McName (Jalapeno Records), Dennis Collopy (Menace Music), Nicky Bignell (BBC), Wendy Roby (Drowned In Sound), Matthew Britton (Pigeon Post), James Penycate (ooh Brilliant), Joe Muggs (Word/Mixmag/Dazed & Confused), Laura Snapes (NME), John Robb (Journalist, author, musician), Stuart Hobday (Escalator Music), plus many more to be added soon!”

If you are a musician you REALLY MUST be there, if you ignore this stuff you are ignoring your own future as a professional musician.
