OLAF FURNISS'S CLOSING STATEMENT ON 'WIDE DAYS'

If you didn't attend, you'll wish you had.

Excellent seminars, the atmosphere charged with opinions and enlightening comments, a full day of crucial and entertaining information for anyone interested in any aspect of the music industry, all from a notably seminal group of exciting and much-experienced speakers. The bands playing later in the evening showcases are excellent and well worth finding out about if you haven't already. Though I don't have pictures of them from this event, this also includes the Edinburgh based Art/Music Collective 'Found' who are one of my favourites, plus Carrie Mac.

So get on it - Come to the next Born To Be Wide Event. It'll be brilliant.
