Music Live 2006 – Performance, Production and Plenty of Gear
National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham
November 3-5.

Music Live 2006 – the UK’s biggest music-making event – is set to feature a wealth of content both for keen amateur musos and those serious about playing or producing music and carving a career in the recording industry.

There will be plenty of business-related advice, with the Musicians’ Union presenting a series of panel-lead seminars on topics including how to build a fanbase, advice on dealing with managers, promoters and the press, using the internet to promote music – and even a Demo Jury where visitors can have their work critiqued. MU panel members already confirmed to appear include Aubrey Nunn (Faithless), Dante Bonutto (Universal Records/Roadrunner Records consultant), Steve Beebee (Kerrang! magazine) and Big George Webley (TV music arranger, credits include The Office).

Exhibitors including Fender, Marshall, Gibson, Yamaha and Apple will be showing the very latest in gear from electric guitars to recording hardware and software, with expert demonstrations running throughout the weekend.

Elsewhere in the show, drummers will get the chance to see players including Mark Richardson (Feeder) and Adrian Erlandsson (Cradle Of Filth) in Drum Room masterclasses. Amongst the artist meet-and-greet sessions confirmed for Music Live 2006 are Darrin Mooney (Primal Scream), Marc Rizzo (Soulfly) and Andy Treacey (Faithless).

And the Live Stage contains a diverse selection of artists this year with The Answer, SikTh, Breed 77, The Imperial Vipers and Oceansize all scheduled to perform. From blues-rock swagger to full-on leftfield metal, Music Live has it all…


The involvement of Music Live’s retail sponsor Sound Control means the event is also the perfect place to pick up a bargain, with special show deals on offer throughout the event.

Music Live 2006 is held at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham between November 3-5. Tickets are priced at £15 in advance (£17 on the door) and available from the box office on 0870 162 0294 or online at www.musiclive.co.uk
