Talking of AIM, the industry organisation will be staging its annual Finance Fair on 9 Mar, bringing the UK music industry together with finance types who are interested in the music business. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? As well as bringing music and money people together the event will also feature a number of workshops and seminars on business and finance type topics.
On that event AIM's Alison Wenham told us: "Against a backdrop of culture gaps between the music business and the city, complexity in music contracts and difficulties in valuing intangibles, this event will help foster valuable relationships between UK music companies and the financiers. With UK record sales rising for the second year running, the live industry flourishing and some very substantial funds being raised for music acquisitions, its timing is particularly auspicious."
Admission to the event is free for AIM members, £25 for members of other trade bodies, and £30 for everyone else. It all takes place at ULU from 2 - 6pm.
