Bill, what’s your favourite song this week?

‘Kiss With A Fist’ by Florence & The Machine [live video embedded below]

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

Maybe a bit of a suntan, lots of new friends and world domination for our artists. would settle for just asian domination.

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

Other than Sarah Blasko and Kate Miller-Heidke:

• Meiko - I saw part of her set a couple of months ago in London and was really impressed
• Philadelphia Grand Jury - Look forward to seeing them on a big stage. Great, infectious pop songs with humour.
• Dan Sultan - I’ve never seen Dan with his band. The guy is a superstar.
• Joe Echo - I’ve heard great things about this Irish singer-songwriter.
• The Beards - Having just recently become beard-free, it will be somewhat nostalgic to hear a band whose songs are all about beards.

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?

I think technology is already bringing industry, artists and fans together. the industry just needs to embrace technology to the same level that punters have.
