Also on the panel will be Ray Paul of The Playmaker Group and co-founder of Radio1Xtra; Cat Park of Mushroom TV Group, Channel AKA, Starz TV and Lava TV; and Chris Meehan, director of Sentric Music.
Kevin McManus, director of Merseyside ACME, said: “Arguably the hardest part of the music industry is getting on a play list.
“Bands, artists and managers all need airplay to thrive and grow and to make money. This seminar has been designed to give Liverpool’s aspiring performers better understanding of how the industry works from those who are on the inside.
“With Ray Paul we have lined a very experienced panel of experts to give advice on how to break on through – what they don’t know about getting airplay is not worth knowing.”
