This issue is packed with some great features – an interview with the creator of Guardians of the Galaxy characters, a feature on BBC Radio 1’s Cel Spellman, alumni profiles and advice on how to get the best out of the opportunities on offer here at Confetti (and trust us, there are a lot).

For our autumn edition of the Wire, we’ve spoken to Kelly Bennaton of DHP (the organisation behind some of Nottingham’s bestloved venues including Rock City and Bodega, and the force behind Splendour festival). We also caught up with Nick Raphael, the President of Capitol Records who’s signed some of the biggest bands during his career, including 5 Seconds of Summer, Sam Smith and Paloma Faith.

It’s summer time which, as well as exam results (gulp), means one thing… no, not rain, FESTIVALS! Last month, 124 of our students undertook 1435 hours of work experience at Nottingham’s sold out Splendour Festival – and we’ve covered all the action in this edition.

It’s been a busy start to the year at Confetti with our exclusive one of a kind event – Industry Week! If you didn’t manage to grab tickets to some of our sold out talks, workshops and lab sessions, don’t worry, this Wire edition is jampacked full of Industry Week 2017 interviews and reviews with some of our amazing industry guests!

We’ve filled this issue with some of our favourite moments from the past year and all the exciting things we’re looking forward to in 201 We’ve spoken to the lads from Amber Run and got the chance to catch up with everyone’s favourite Industry Week guitar hero – Mikey Demus.

This edition of The Wire has all the info you need to get you started – advice about how to get support, interviews with some of our alumni and current students working in their dream roles, as well as advice on applying to uni.
