The BPI have confirmed they will stage another British Music Week in Germany following on from last May's week long showcase of UK talent in Berlin. This time events will also be staged in Hamburg and Cologne.
Here's what British Music Week founder and BPI man Steve Redmond has to say about it all: "We said from the beginning that British Music Week would only succeed if it had genuine support from the German music industry. I am glad to say the response from the German industry, media and public to the last British Music Week was overwhelming. Germany is the largest European market for UK record sales and is a natural partner for this kind of event. The German industry has spoken and they want a truly national event that brings the best new UK bands to the most exciting music cities in Germany".
