On Thursday July 22nd Creative Lancashire have organised a special music industry event - 'SoundBytes'. It is a full day of panel discussions, workshops, seminars, and one-to-ones with some of the brightest movers and shakers within the industry.

To coincide with this event They Eat Culture has put together a really exciting evening line-up at The Continental - which is open to the general public. This includes the fabulous Mistys Big Adventure (from Birmingham), an exclusive screening of the new Mogwai 'Burning' documentary and much more too!

To attend the day-time seminars/workshops (hosted at Avenham Pavillion) you do need to register, but be aware that places are extremely limited. For more information on what is on offer throughout the day please see the Creative Lancashire website...
