In Pictures: The parties of Midem 2015
By
Niels Teves ( Co-CEO of Fintage House) and guests.

Some people will tell you the global music industry is all work, work, work.

And it is… most of the time.

But when Midem rolls around – as it did last weekend in Cannes, France – some of the industry’s most significant players like to kick back, put a glass of vino in your hand and welcome the great and the good to their very own parties.

God bless them for that.

As you can see in the gallery below, Midem 2015 was no exception.

Scratch that, it was a bit of an exception… the sun was blazing in the south of France, thanks to the event’s move to June from its traditional January slot.

The likes of Fintage House / FUGA, InGrooves and Imagem all hosted well-received evening soirees in Cannes.

(Fintage/FUGA’s Sunday night party was particularly spectacular, at their own rented villa a short walk from La Croisette).

Pepsi, meanwhile, put on a Saturday morning breakfast at The Carlton hotel with Epic Records boss LA Reid as its guest of honour.

Le soleil did not stop shining: no wonder the place was full of smiles…
