The Music Meeting

A room full of NonCOMM guests - radio music directors, program directors and festival passholders - met to preview and judge the very latest music... and the fans were guests of honor sharing opinions on what they want to hear on the radio!

Sean Coakley from Songlines once again moderated what's become the Non-COMMvention's most popular meeting! The Music Meeting also featured a live set from Jessica Lea Mayfield.
