    A mix of life stories, live performances and Q&A opportunities

    SUNDAY

    Hosted by Steve White | Live Elements by Frida Music (Brooke Haigh)

    The Soundtrack to Your Set - Live and Unfiltered.

    As a DJ, you know his work better than anyone. From the peak-time energy of the Spice Girls’ "Say You’ll Be There" and Take That’s "Everything Changes" to the dancefloor anthems of S Club 7, Five, and Billie Piper, Eliot Kennedy has been the architect behind the tracks that have defined your sets for decades.

    But behind every Ivor Novello and Grammy winning hit is a story you haven’t heard.

    Join us for an exclusive keynote seminar where the studio door is thrown wide open.

    Hosted by the legendary Steve White, this isn’t just a lecture, it’s a deep dive into the craft of hit making, the evolution of the pop industry, and the Life Stories of a man who has worked alongside everyone from Bryan Adams and Gary Barlow to Aretha Franklin.

    What to Expect:

    • The Stories Behind the Bangers: Eliot shares the raw, often hilarious, and always inspiring journey of building a global music empire from his Sheffield roots.
    • The Live Experience: This is no static presentation. We are bringing the music to life with Frida Music (aka Brooke Haigh), who will be performing live tracks and melodic elements, breaking down the stems and sounds that make these records work so well in the booth and on the floor.
    • The Blueprint for Success: Learn how Eliot’s future funk philosophy and hook driven songwriting turned into multi-platinum success.
    • Your Turn at the Mic (Q&A): A rare opportunity to put your questions directly to one of the world’s most successful songwriters and producers. Whether you’re curious about his production techniques, his transition into film scoring, or his advice for the next generation of creators, the floor is yours.

    Don’t miss this chance to connect with the man behind the music you play week in and week out. It’s time to see the hits from the inside out.
