Michael Chugg heads an Allstar list of speakers at this year's Turn Up
2019 brings the Sunshine Coast music community together again for the Turn Up Sunshine Coast Music Industry Conference, happening at The Playhouse at Solbar, Maroochydore on Thursday 17 October.
Turn Up event is fast becoming Australia’s favourite regional music industry gathering adding an extra day on Friday 18 October with an industry breakfast, two master classes and a showcase gig. The Thursday program includes a Keynote, In Conversation panel and live Q and A with leading music industry achievers.
Program Director, Eloise Gallagher said “The 2019 Turn Up Conference is about bringing Sunshine Coast music people together to interact with, celebrate and be inspired by Australia’s music industry experts. We have been building this event over several years and have developed a community of very approachable leaders who want to pass on their wealth of experience to the next generation, in an intimate and welcoming setting. In 2019, we bring you an Aussie legend: promoter, manager and record label chief Michael Chugg, who will distil 57 years of music industry experience into an unmissable keynote speech.”
The name Michael Chugg is synonymous with some of the biggest tours to have ever come through Australia and New Zealand. “The whole southern Queensland area has been a good nursery for young musicians and young industry people,” Chugg says. “They're trying really hard at it, and Turn Up is held in an area that can always use an event like this – it's not in a capital city. It's a good thing and I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who are still finding out about it who will really enjoy it.”
Chuggi’s’ keynote, is just one of the great reasons to Turn Up! Returning to the conference to share more in 2019, are Roadies author Stuart Coupe, Barry Bull, Kellie Lloyd and Francesca de Valence. As always, Turn Up’s key focus is to provide networking opportunities and to showcase emerging Sunshine Coast Musicians.
