At Warner/Chappell's second annual Global A&R Conference in London, pubco chief Jon Platt asks some locals why there were peas in the BBQ. The event gathered 40+ execs from around the globe (including digital service peeps) and, after a "three-day conversation," wrapped with a performance by breakout Skepta.
