What some of the 2011 mission delegates had to say:
Varin Marshall (Cupboard Love Records): 'Hospitality was outstanding. I have gained a lot of knowledge and contacts to propel my business forward. Definitely the best industry opportunity I have had so far.'
Julie Weir (Visible Noise): 'I just wanted to reiterate that this was the most fun I have had on a work trip in ages…not to mention getting a lot of business done – and meeting some great UK Music people who I didn’t know previously. The trip was a pleasure and I will definitely beback.'
Lawrence Millar (Killer Music): ‘Information gathering exercises were first class, and contacts within the industry were unprecedented.’
Grahame Maclean (NorthStar Music Publishing): ‘A superb event… the help that this gives us is enormous.’
Ed Averdieck (Cuesongs.com): ‘I consider the event to be a high level Diploma in Sync… have made some great contacts for the future and can I put my name down now for the next one?’
