Peter Jenner

Industry Keynote
Jenner is legendary in the music business. One time manager to Pink Floyd, The Clash, Ian Dury & Billy Bragg amongst many others, he is now at the forefront of the debates surrounding the digital use of music. He was President Emeritus (IMMF), Director (UK MMF) and on the advisory board of FAC. He is also a visiting professor for the University of Hertfordshire and the University of Adger in Norway.

His overriding interest is in securing artists’ rights and fair payment. In 2006, he courted controversy with his seminal paper and conference ‘Beyond the Soundbytes’ in which he proposed an ‘Access to Music Charge’ which would remunerate musicians appropriately for the use of their works, within a digital environment. Peter is involved with trying to develop a viable digital market in China and he continues to be one of the most sought after and respected speakers in media today. He was also a member of the organising committee of WIPO’s ‘International Music Registry’ project and is currently a Visiting Professor at the University of Hertfordshire and also at the University of Adger in Norway.

Biography: David Wrench has become one of the most celebrated and sought-after mix engineers, not least because two of his 2014 projects were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize - those being two of the most contemporary albums of the year FKA Twigs' LP1 and Jungle's self-titled debut. David is a multi-talented Producer, Recording Engineer and Mix Engineer and an exceptionally well regarded musician and multi-instrumentalist.
