'Copyright, Technology and the Music Industry' - Feargal Sharkey: CIPIL Seminar's image
Description: Mr Feargal Sharkey, CEO of UK Music, gave an evening seminar entitled "Copyright, Technology and the Music Industry" on Thursday 11th November 2011 at the Faculty of Law as a guest of CIPIL (the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law).

Born in Derry, Northern Ireland, Feargal found fame as lead singer in The Undertones and later as a solo artist – enjoying some 12 years of world tours, hit albums, late nights and the finest transport café cuisine money can buy. Hanging up his pop star boots, he successfully transferred to the business side of the industry; holding posts as A&R manager, record label MD, Member of the Radio Authority and Chair of the Live Music Forum.

In February 2008, Feargal was appointed CEO of British Music Rights. Eight months later, this role was expanded significantly with the creation of UK Music. Headed by Feargal, UK Music is an umbrella organisation that represents the collective interests of the UK’s commercial music industry – from composers, songwriters, artists, musicians and record producers to music managers, music publishers, record labels and collecting societies.
