Manchester Music Seminars have recently unveiled Steve Levine as their second keynote speaker for the inaugural event taking place at Umbro Design Studios on October 14th, as well as a hive of panel activity, including the announcement of confirmed panellists for those revealed two weeks ago and the titles of our final two panels.

Following their previous announcement that Mary Anne Hobbs is to appear as a keynote speaker, MMS is delighted to unveil Steve Levine as the second.

In a career that’s stretched over 35 years, Levine has touched on almost everything to do with music production, right back from his beginnings as a trainee tape-op at CBS Studios in 1975 and graduation to sound engineer there, working with the likes of The Clash and XTC.

As a producer, Levine’s biggest commercial success behind the mixing desk was undoubtedly The Culture Club’s three multi-platinum albums of the 80s; he can also boast the Beach Boys, Motorhead and Ziggy Marley among those he’s worked with – not to mention his own radio production company, Magnum Opus Broadcasting, which has produced many shows for the BBC.

In 2011, Levine sits as chair of The Music Producer’s Guild and UK Music, while also being involved as a Director at PRS for Music. He’ll be talking about the paths new acts should consider when recording their first tracks and discussing how UK Music is helping those at the grassroots of the industry get into the game.

With early bird tickets priced at just £37.50, there’s never before been such an affordable way to receive quality face to face feedback and discussion from established industry members.
