GROUND FLOOR MEETING IN LONDON ON

April 25 in London ON

The artist of faith in Canada faces a number of obstacles in pursuing their goals - fortunately, the lack of coordination and communication is one obstacle that can be overcome. The Ground Floor meeting that will be held on April 25 in London (chosen for its centrality) has resulted from discussions between Marty Gast (emit ridge) and myself regarding the need for communication and networking. All artists (music, graphic,writers), promoters and interested parties are invited.

There is no cost for the 1:00 meeting. The agenda is that there is none - only to assemble and discuss. Out of this meeting will be a comprehensive list of independent and signed artists and promoters, with a view to combining our efforts to become more effective at what we do.

We do have some ideas that we will be sharing at the meeting as well, as to how this can be achieved through things such as radio promotion and showcasing and working with the colleges and universities. First Baptist Church is located in downtown London, in the centre of a number of restaurants, so no one will suffer.

Optional after Ground Floor will be the Taking Your Music Seriously Seminar, which has developed from years of working in the music industry, and Cafe Etc. in the evening. Cafe Etc. is THE place to play in London.
