Cannes-Do Spirit
International Publishers Meet at MIDEM in the South of France
January 27th – 31st saw the music industry converge on the sun kissed French resort of Cannes for the 42nd annual MIDEM conference. MIDEM grew out of the necessity for European publishers to renew their sub-publishing agreements and where better to do these deals than the South of France in January? MIDEM has become a global marketplace with over 9,500 delegates from 90 countries attending. In more recent years the conference has had its attendance bolstered by not only publishers but record companies and live acts also. This year saw showcases by acts like Dragonette, Richard Hawley, Bailey Tzuke and Jack Savoretti.
