Here's a selection of enthusiastic comments from existing members:

"Being a record producer is a 'lone wolf' job - the MPG put me in touch with a great community
of kindred spirits!"
(Mike Howlett)

"Catching up with other members is fun and helps me learn new stuff. Chatting to other members
about the industry has given me confidence in what I am doing with my business"
(Chris Thorne)

"I joined the MPG because it gives us all a unique opportunity to meet, discuss and network.
I also fully support the tremendous work done by the MPG that really does support us and champions
many, many worthwhile aspects of this business that we all love. Who'd want to do anything else?"
(Haydn Bendall)

"Join the MPG because there is no other professional group truly representing and acknowledging
our skilled UK sector like the MPG does so well. It provides much kudos for all members of the
recording world. It has also reunited myself with long lost associates and still does so today.
A pioneering group of professional individuals represented by a pioneering and focussed network"
(Mark Rose)

"The MPG is a community of producers and engineers who benefit from contact that would otherwise
be impossible to achieve. This includes strong links with its American counterpart, The Producers
& Engineers Wing of the Grammy Organisation"
(Mick Glossop)

"When I started writing courses in music production I knew I would need to talk to as many producers
as possible to get a wide view of the industry that is why I contacted the MPG. When I discovered
what a really friendly group they were I joined. The people who produced my favourite tracks really
know how to party!"
(Jim Barret)

"Because I grew up in a music business that had a strong social aspect to it I have found that
being actively involved in MPG has enabled me to re-connect with that aspect of the industry
that I believe to be crucially important. In these days of cyberspace existence the MPG offers
a tangible way to keep in touch with other like minded (and contradictory) creative people"
(Tony Platt)
