Mike Pailthorpe making music and helping people make music.

On stage: performing (guitar, percussion, laptop trickery), DJing

Backstage: live sound, PA.

In the office: marketing music, music contract analysis, spotting/developing talent, copyright advice and consultancy

In the classroom: lecturing/teaching on all of the above at Northbrook College Sussex: writing/developing courses relevant to the changing needs of the music sector: I run the BA Music Business and Management Degree at Northbrook, and act as external examiner at Leeds Metropolitan University

At music conventions: I organised three panels at The Great Escape 2010 on Digital Marketing for Music, The Legal Panel and the JAMES panel on education and getting studio jobs.
