Entrepreneurs can tune in for advice from music experts

Entrepreneurs from the music industry are set to join forces in a special one-off event, to discuss the highs and lows of their experiences with others who are considering beginning their own creative enterprises.

In Tune with Business will be hosted by the North East Business and Innovation Centre (BIC) in association with The Bridge Club. It takes place on 5 March, and will feature an informal ‘Question Time’ style setting, with a panel of representatives from the regional music scene including Peter Brewis from North East outfit Field Music, Peter Aitken and Neil Foggin of soundtrack and multimedia specialists Red Room Music Composition, and Kenny Sanger, owner of Sunderland music factory, The Bunker.

Peter Brewis said: “The events should provide an ideal forum to develop and discuss ideas that often don’t make it outside of the music venue or pub! If speaking about my experiences can help people who are starting out in any kind of creative industry then I’m delighted to be involved.”

Caroline Theobald of the Bridge Club said: “The North East has always been a rich breeding ground for popular music, and activity has redoubled in recent years. We’re hoping that the panel discussion and audience debate will be beneficial to both people who are already operating in the music business, and those who wish to become involved or learn more on how creative industries work.”
