As part of the Creative Business Advocate project, Music Advocate Wendy Stewart has organised a talk / discussion with Ronnie Gurr of Creative & Cultural Skills – the UK Sector Skills Council for music, performing arts, visual arts, craft, design and literature.
Ronnie is a music industry veteran who offers general business mentoring and advice on marketing, distribution and promotion to clients of the Cultural Enterprise Office. He has just taken on the position of Apprenticeships Manager (Scotland) with Creative & Cultural Skills and will discuss creative apprenticeships and routes into working within the creative industries as well as more general business advice.
Ronnie has worked as an industry professional since 1977 including doing press and A&R for Virgin Records, Sony Music`s Columbia label and V2. Acts he has previously signed or worked with include Stereophonics, Boy George and Culture Club, The Blue Nile, XTC, Simple Minds and Kula Shaker.
He is also, along with Midge Ure,, a director of CCW Long Play Ltd, a company that exists to help musicians manage and exploit the rights resulting from their creativity.
This will be a great opportunity to hear from someone with insight into what really helps to get the fruits of your creative endeavours out there to a wider audience, especially web-based ideas for the rural musician.
Ronnie will be happy to take your questions and — hopefully —provide some answers at the event that takes place on Thursday 16th August from 1pm to 3pm at the Stove in Dumfries town centre.
