Panel discussions will focus on:

NEW PUNK ON THE BLOCK – THE TILEYARD STORY  With the impact of new technology and the DIY phenomena are creative clusters the way forward?

THE DIY PUNKS PANEL Are artists, producers, songwriters, composers and independent labels, publishers and managers more empowered and independent than ever before or is it just an urban myth?

THE DIGITAL PUNKS PANEL How is new technology giving independent control of the production, distribution and marketing of music in the hands of the creative entrepreneur?

THE ROCK IN THE STORM – COPYRIGHT, ROYALTIES AND THE AGENCIES  Has the relevance of copyright eroded or is it more significant and central to the new music economy than it’s ever been? What role do these professional associations play?

THE LIVE PUNKS PANEL
How do artists, labels and managers develop their live revenue streams and is new technology connecting artists and fans in ever more connected ways?

THE PROMO PUNKS PANEL How has the promotion playing field changed and what do artists today need to do to rise above the digital noise?
