Born To Be Wide is set to celebrate its 11th anniversary at Edinburgh’s Electric Circus on Thursday 5 February, with an interview with Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) Director of Live Entertainment, John Langford.

The Q&A will be followed by a seminar on Music Tourism, exploring how the music scene can act as a draw to tourism and the role visitors can play in sustaining local music businesses and artists.  Rose Norton, co-owner of the Coda Music record shop, will also take part in the panel, with additional speakers to be confirmed.
