Another MIDEM music conference beckoned for Yellow Dragon to begin the year, with the single release of "River from the Sky". The 37th MIDEM started on the 18th and closed on the 23rd of January, 2003. For 6 days, 4,006 companies registered from 92 countries to keep the international music business flowing. Piracy was high on the agenda, not that Robbie Williams seemed too bothered! Although a short trip this year there was still enough time to enjoy a warm Saturday, coverage of the NRJ and the opportunity to catch up with some old and new friends.

Our promo cd with 6 tracks went out to a varied mix of people and it will be interesting to see the feedback in line with the Buddha Bar release featuring "From Master Wong" Looking for potential license deals was the main purpose of the trip and it was good to see how things are changing and how what we are doing fits in with new trends. Having gone to the Britsh at Midem debate about new talent manu pop.
