For those who may not be aware Russ, founder of Pro Tools Expert, has relocated from London to the sunny charms of Northern Ireland and is now based in County Down. about 30 minutes from Belfast.

Russ has been asked to explore creating a new regional presence for the Music Producers Guild MPG in Northern Ireland. You can find out more about the MPG here

"The Music Producers Guild was conceived and is supported by producers and engineers who are passionate about all aspects of making and recording music. It is a not-for-profit company and is run by volunteers from the membership.

The achievements of this creative community are celebrated through the annual MPG Awards event, and we hope to stimulate development and evolution through the discussions and debate at our events and via the website.

We see it as providing a community for us to share our collective experience and collaborate with other like-minded people."

The best way to explore something like this is to start with an informal meeting and to have a few drinks together... of course!
