ASCAP UK In Norway

(l-r): David Rowell (Vicious Music), Geir (Your Favourite Music), H.P. (Your Favourite Music) Dominic, Moi (artist) and ASCAP's Ross Gautreau

On the 21st of January ASCAP (UK) was invited to Bergen in Norway by government-funded organization GAFFA. The concept set up by GAFFA is based around the music industry, and in this case they invited industry from the UK and the U.S. to talk about the current climate and changes in breaking a band or artist.

The purpose of these courses are to motivate and educate Bergen's new managers, labels, bands, songwriters and those involved with new music. The program offers participants a greater business point of view on their work in the music business to make them understand that not only are they dealing with music and art, but with also with business, sales, income and other career issues.
