South West Sound 08 - exciting new partnership unveiled
The Bristol leg of South West Sound, the annual music business convention for the region, will be hosted by the Watershed Media Centre in 2008.
 
The Watershed is at the heart of Bristol’s cultural sector, promoting creativity, innovation and talent. Not just a modern conference and performance venue, the Watershed is the hub for culture and media in Bristol. Mark Cosgrove, Head of Programme at the Watershed, is enthusiastic about this new partnership:
 
“Watershed is delighted to be supporting and collaborating on South West Sound 08 to grow and develop the music infrastructure, talent and skills in Bristol and the South West at what is an exciting time for the combined creative output of film, media and music”.
South West Sound enjoyed two great years with the Colston Hall in 2006 and 2007, and the Colston Hall remains a key partner in the event. Colston Hall Director Graeme Howell said,
 
“Bristol’s cultural industries are flourishing¬†as sectors are working together more to build the creative economy and identity of the city. The new partnership for South West Sound with the Watershed is a very exciting one and builds on our existing work with them and will strengthen our ongoing and successful working relationship with Dartington Plus and the Bristol Music Foundation.”
