“This year’s submission process has again attracted a fantastic response”, said goNORTH Director for Music Shaun Arnold. “goNORTH is an excellent platform to expose artists to industry and media and a great environment to make connections. We are looking forward to a strong closing week and announcing our showcasing schedule early next month”.


Twelve acts selected to showcase will also feature on the goNORTH 2012 CD. Released direct to industry on the cover of leading publication Music Week, all selected artists will also secure exposure in the issue as well as across Music Week’s online platforms.

“goNORTH is great on many levels, great line up of bands that goes beyond the usual dustbin indie fare, a beautiful city to hang out in and a surprisingly diverse cross section of people attending making it one of the best of the music conference circuit”.

“Events such as goNORTH are essential to give buyers and sellers a broader understanding of the opportunities that lie within the market place. There is always a hidden gem at goNORTH, be it a new act or a new business opportunity”.

Keith Harris: Director for Performer Affairs, PPL
“goNORTH is a much more open seminar. A lot of conferences are expensive, which makes them exclusive. goNORTH makes it easy for the people who really need the information to get it”.

“goNORTH continues to be one of the UK’s benchmark A&R event and the many attendees at the well-subscribed panels and evening gigs bear witness to that”.
