This week sees The Great Escape conference in Brighton, including Music Ally’s startup-themed session on Friday. Here’s some more news for conference-goers: there’ll be ‘secret’ street gigs around Brighton during the festival part of the event, with gig-goers invited to pay a one-off fee of £1.50 to be sent text alerts about the concerts – which in previous years have featured Babyshambles, We Are Scientists and The Noisettes. Meanwhile, local outlet Shake Away has created a special Great Escape milkshake for the weekend, which includes Skittles, Popping Candy and Jelly Babies. Source: Media Junction
