What do you hope to gain from the One Movement Festival and Conference?

Catching up with delegates I know and meeting the ones I don’t yet. Insights from the panels. Hearing some new music at the showcases and hanging out at the Inertia Late Bar!

Which artists’ showcase sets are you most looking forward to watching?

Dappled Cities, Whitley, Old Man River, Melodramas, and Wolf & Cub.

One Movement’s tagline is “Artist, Industry, Fan United”. What do you think needs to change in order to unite the music industry with its artists and fans?

Stop preaching to the converted; nowadays music fans know about new artists/buzz artists. Stop arresting individual fans who illegally download. Educate fans that music is art and that they should financially support it.
