Norwich Sound & Vision 2010 is taking place for the first time on 16-18th September 2010. The event will comprise of a conference featuring expert speakers from the music, film, TV and games industries. There will also be live music, film screenings and other interactive performances. Ever heard of the music and film conference called SXSW in Austin, Texas? Well, think of S&V as a taster… in Norwich.

Norwich is always bursting at the seams with new music and film (to name but a few art forms); there’s something in the water that makes this place a breeding ground for unusual creativity. We’re lucky to have a unique community playing host to a plethora of multi-media based artistry, so why not have a convention based at the heart of it?

S&V will provide a platform for those of you who are involved (or would like to be) with the multi-media channels mentioned above. If you come along you’ll get the opportunity to listen, engage and perhaps mosey around with labels, promoters, press, internet media peeps and artists who are coming to Norwich.

If learning how to get your music licensed in film/TV is your bag or even how to get your band out on the touring and festival circuit, then I guess we’ll see you on the 18th September. Those are just a couple of the subjects that will be open to discussion with our delectable roster of panellists from across the music/radio/film/multi-media industry.

You never know, you may even forge new partnerships (stranger things have happened). Ultimately, this is about learning something new and being inspired!

If you’re hungry to know more about putting your art out there or perhaps might be a tad frustrated with the lack of tools you have to get your ‘thing’ off the ground, we hope to give you something to get your teeth into. Come and meet like-minded individuals, bands/musicians, record labels, filmmakers, designers, writers and anyone with an interest in multi-media industries. Those of you that just want to learn something new – embrace your inner mind’s sponge, be inspired and have a fantastic time on us.
