Music Producers Guild Announces Fifth Q-Time

The Music Producers Guild has announced it will host another of it Q Time events at the Seven Dials Club in London's Covent Garden on July 15.

"Loosely based on the BBC's Question Time format, MPG Q-Time events are designed to stimulate discussion about the many issues affecting the music industry and those who work in it," a statement said.
"Four successful Q Time events have been held in the past and the MPG anticipates strong demand for this fifth event, which will once again be chaired by acclaimed BBC 6Music presenter, chart-topping recording artist and song-writer, Tom Robinson."
The panel for Q Time 5 includes Kerry Harvey-Piper, manager and owner of Red Grape Music; Jon Webster, CEO of The Music Managers Forum; musician and artist Laura Kidd; producer Tommy D who has worked with KT Tunstall, Corinne Bailey Rae, Catatonia and Right Said Fred, and Radiohead's Ed O'Brien, who is also a founding director of the Featured Artists Coalition.
MPG Executive Board member Mick Glossop said: "We've obviously hit on a popular format with these events because they are always incredibly well attended. The questions asked by the audience are very incisive and generate plenty of debate amongst the panelists.
"As an organization for recording professionals, we are delighted to play a part in getting producers, engineers, recording artists and record label personnel together so that we can discuss important issues affecting all our working lives – and, in some cases, our future incomes."
The event begins at 18:30 and entry is by electronic ticket.
