- Panel on music’s relationship to Hair, Fashion & Sex.
- Panel on Entrepreneurship, Technology & Death.
- Panel on Therapy, Rehabilitation & Education.
- The world premier of talk radio show Bring Me The Disco King. The show that believes music is too important for bad music to go unpunished. Involving live phone-in (rather, “audience-in”.)
- The UWS Scratch Ensemble performs John Cage’s 4’33” ( popularly know as ‘Silence’) and the ensemble of 20 “musicians” will perform a programme of “iconic” Scottish music that includes: ‘Flower of Scotland’; Deacon Blue’s ‘Dignity‘; Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’; film-composer Craig Armstrong’s hauntingly beautiful ‘Love Theme’ from the movie Romeo & Juliet; and Biffy Clyro’s ‘Many of Horror’.
- As part of the event 100 members of the Scottish musical and creative community are being asked to create unique miniatures which will form a Lilliputian art exhibition exhibited at the CCA. The canvases will be displayed anonymously and sold at a flat rate. These will be sold on the day on a first come first served basis with all proceeds going to Sense Scotland.
Sense Scotland has been working for over 20 years with children and adults who have communication support needs because of deafblindness, sensory impairment, learning and physical disabilities. One of their key areas of expertise is communication. Working closely with people, often on a one-to-one basis, they aim to find out what their aspirations are and how they want to live their lives.

Featuring key and emerging figures from across the creative industries Music Without Sound will combine unique panel and performance events and is designed for anyone who has a passion for music and wants to develop a music-related business or creative activity. Its focus is music across all of the creative industries rather than simply ‘the music industry’.
