grievesy is making themselves knowngrievesy is making themselves known
Been to a few of these type of events and they have day events too.

If you want to learn about the industry or just want to get to know some of the faces and names then you should come down.

I'll be honest, these things are generally boring as fuck but can be informative and are a good chance to network.

A few of the speakers are:

Jim Gelleaty - Presenter XFM
Steve Zapp - Agent ITB (represents the view, the Twang and the Lemonheads amongst others)
Stuart Thomas - Scottish Arts Council (the man you want to know if you want funding for SXSW)
Murray Chalmers - Publicist for EMI ( represents Kylie, coldplay etc...)
John O'Rourke - Clash

The keynote speaker is Keith Harris, not sure if he is bringing Orville and cuddles though.
