The global artist management body the International Music Managers Forum had its General Assembly meeting in Gronigen last Thursday; and Petri Lunden, a busy man who represents The Cardigans and Europe, among others, as well as being Executive Chairman of Hagenburg Law Media And Management and Non-executive Director of Tix-Daq, was voted in as the body's new Chairman.
Accepting his new role, Lunden told reporters: "The possibilities for artist managers and their clients are endless; my aim is that we assist our global MMF members to avoid the pitfalls, sharing ideas and education, ensuring that this and future generations of managers are creating and championing new playing fields for artists".
Outgoing Chair Peter Jenner added: "These are exciting times. Petri is an excellent choice and I know that he will continue all the important work that the IMMF has undertaken. The future of the music business presents many problems, and Petri is the right man to overcome them".
