Our very own Rob Eakins was invited to sit on the panel for the final part of the Make It Break It Awards’ (MIBI) four day Industry Academy 2010, which was held at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA). Joined by music industry experts including Mike Walsh from Xfm and legendary producer Steve Levine, the panel answered questions posed by the competition winners on topics such as the role of managers and whether bands really need a major record deal in order to be successful. Some of the advice given by the panel will be discussed on our Business Talk page very soon. And what did the panel all agree was the most essential element for success in the music industry? Hard work of course!
