From Demo To Limo
The Performing Right Society presented a series of Demo to Limo events, which gave budding musicians an opportunity to learn more about getting ahead in the music industry. 

Demo to Limo Panel - This was a chance to quiz a panel of A&R, promoters, artists and financial gurus on what you really need to do to succeed. Steve Levine, producer of many of Culture Club hits, was one of the highlights of the evening. The panel also included participants who have worked with such major acts as Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Rooster and Supergrass, including Paul Loasby (Artist manager Jools Holland), Dave Accari and Lesley Paterson (Throntons Solicitors). The panel looked to address areas such as:
  • knowing about management
  • knowing how to get a deal
  • knowing about gigging
  • knowing about copyright
  • knowing about publishing
  • knowing how to make money from your music NOW
 
Demo to Limo Drop In Surgery - Was a great opportunity to mingle and chat with industry representatives.
