Here’s some news just in

I am writing to let you know the second Liverpool Sound City takes place May 20th to 23rd.  www.liverpoolsoundcity.co.uk

Last year we welcomed an audience of over 25,000 people and put on over 300 bands in over 20 venues.

We brought in speakers from over 10 different countries and held a world class conference in the amazing 4 star superior Hard Days Night Hotel.

This year we have teamed up with Musexpo and British Underground to deliver an even bigger and better conference and a brand new initiative called The Trial which will take place in the Victorian Law Courts of St Georges Hall.  We will welcome over 400 business delegates from all over the world.

The theme as ever will be the mavericks, new thinkers, entrepreneurs, chameleons, svengalis helping to shape the modern music business.  Effectively the DIYers!

We will present over 400 bands in 30+ venues and we will host parties and events with over 10 different territories including USA, Canada, France, Italy, Norway, Japan, China, Ireland, Caribbean and Nigeria.
