University of the Highlands and Islands Public Lecture at the University of the Highlands and Islands Executive Office, Inverness on Wednesday March 7th, 5.15pm – 7pm.

Everyone loves the face of music – the rock stars, the talent shows, the fashion – but what of the people who make it all happen?

What drives the creative entrepreneurs in the background who give us the big names and events? Where do they find inspiration, what challenges do they face and how do they know when they have found the “x-factor”?

Peter Honeyman, Subject Network Leader for Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of the Highlands and Islands, will be conducting a series of interviews with high profile experts from the creative industries in March 2012. The panel will consist of Joe Gibbs, founder of Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and Rock Ness, Iain Hamilton Head of Creative Industries from Highlands and Island Enterprise, Norman Bolton Music Development Officer at Highland Council and Steve Robertson, music promoter and manager.

Dè a bhios ag iomain nan luchd-tionnsgain cruthachail a bhios air cùlaibh ghnothaichean agus a’ toirt dhuinn nan ainmean agus tachartasan mòra? Càite a bheil iad a’ faighinn dùsgadh-inntinn, dè na dùbhlain a bhios romhpa agus ciamar a bhios fios aca nuair a lorgas iad an ‘X Factor”?
