Shirley Manson Guest Lecture

Tuesday 26 October 2010

Scottish Singer Shirley Manson and US Record Producer Billy Bush Deliver Talk at University of the West of Scotland

Shirley gave career advice to UWS BA Commercial Music and

MA Music, Innovation and Entrepreneurship students.

The secret of success, Manson revealed, was for artists to talk through their disagreements – and share the proceeds.

“When you get into a band, whether you are – the main writer or whatever – split the money equal ways. Then you will have a happy band. They are doing the same work as you.”

Shirley was a real inspiration to the students – she was motivated and positive and encouraged them to be so too. We hope to have other guests of this calibre in the near future.”
