The Sunshine Coast is set to receive its first significant music industry conference.
Hostile Entertainment and the Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance are calling on musicians and musically-minded people from the Sunshine Coast region and Greater South East Queensland to TURN UP!
Music retailing legend, business book author and motivational speaker, Barry Bull, will open the inaugural TURN UP! conference with his keynote presentation 'Take the Bull by the Horns', based on his latest book of the same title.
The TURN UP! program includes three music industry panels and showcase performances from some of the region's best contemporary musicians. The panels are comprised of high-profile industry professionals, offering their insights on topics of Song Writing, Product to Market and Music Business Matters.
