Chris Jenkins, BIC's entertainment and events manager and chair of the Bournemouth and Poole Music Industry Forum says, "Sun, Sea and Sound is all about encouraging people interested in pursuing careers in the most creative industry on the planet. There is no time like the present for our local industry to come together and hopefully inspire the future of the music business. This is great event for Bournemouth and Poole."
The Bournemouth and Poole Music Industry Forum was set up to provide a catalyst for projects like this and to provide a mouthpiece for the music industry in the area.
Confirmed acts for the week include McFly, Crowded House and Manic Street Preachers. The line up of speakers will be announced during the months leading up to the event, but organisers say there will be "something for everyone".
