Those nice folk at Born To Wide, Scotland’s only regular music-business seminar night, have announced that their first seminar of the year will take place next month and it is going to be devoted to music festivals and the opportunities that they can offer to emerging acts. Taking place at their regular haunt, Edinburgh’s Electric Circus, the event will be held on Thursday 2 February, it will detail the selection procedure, fees, what artists are offered in terms of promotion and how they can make the best use of the opportunity.
To date they've confirmed that they will have folk along from DF Concerts (who put on T In The Park/The Edge Festival), Knockengorroch Festival, The Insider Festival and Go Events (who put on goNorth and also showcase at events such as Wickerman, Belladrum, Loopallu and Wizard.
“Festivals offer a great platform for emerging acts to reach new
audiences,” says Born To Be Wide co-organiser, Olaf Furniss. “This event
will provide a unique insight into what festivals offer, and will also
give musicians the opportunity to meet the bookers. We recommend people
bring their CDs!“
After the panel, the seminar guests will stay at the venue to DJ
with records they have selected from Edinburgh’s Oxfam music shop.
Everything played will be for sale with all proceeds going to the
charity.
