S4C would like to meet...

S4C is soon to be using modern dating methods in order to improve the link between television and music companies in Wales.

The television company is inviting Welsh music companies to a ‘Speed Dating’ event being held on December 13th. Any music business that owns the copyright of the music they are promoting will be welcome at the event, being held at Cardiff’s Angel Hotel from 1pm.

Guto Brychan, Welsh Language Officer at Welsh Music Foundation comments:
“It enables music companies to come in direct contact with those within the television industry who are responsible for the music used in their programming.” He stresses that the people who attend must own the copyright of the material they’re promoting, or be acting on the owners behalf.

There will only be space for twelve companies but record labels, publishers, composers and musicians will all attend the event. S4C does however, plan to make the event a regular occurrence. As such it will allow television and music companies to network and keep in contact on a regular basis.
