Premier amongst these will be a session with former EMI chairman and CEO, Tony Wadsworth, entitled 'What's happened to the record industry' a seminar at the Sage. There are three other sessions featuring CEO's, Heads of music and A&R, producers, directors, pluggers and songwriters.

Evolution 08 is the biggest music festival in the North East of England and raises much needed funds for Northumbrian Water's adopted international charity WaterAid – the official charity of the festival for the third year running.

eFestivals supports Wateraid. WaterAid works in 17 countries providing water, sanitation and hygiene education to some of the world's poorest people.
