Rockcomm is also pleased to announce the participation of a number of globally renouned rock artists who will be chairing and participating on some of its panels at Richmix in Shoreditch on June 8th & 9th. Panelists include Toby Jepson singer of Little Angels & Gun , Danny Bowes singer and frontman of Thunder, Arya Goggindrummer of Skindred , Dan Weller Guitarist with Sikth (Also a globally renowned producer )and Arthur Brown singer with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown .
Rockcomm Founder Seven Webster said “As a large amount of attendees are young artists it made sense for us to make sure we get an artists perspective on the business and have rock artists both asking panelists the questions as well as being involved in some of the panels too. This for me was an integral part of what we are trying to achieve as without the artists there is no business.”
Rockcomms opening panel will see Danny Bowes (Thunder) & Arya Goggin (Skindred) hosting a special in depth look at rock PR with a number of leading rock music PR companies including Scream Promotions , US rock music PR company SKH Media (US) , Duff Press , Work Hard PR & Noise Cartel.
