It's taken a while, but the record industry seems to be on the up, after years of challenges thrown up by illegal downloading etc. Not only do we now have an Official Streaming Chart, this month, the Official Singles Charts will start incorporating streaming data in its rankings. Sales of digital music have also been heading north for quite some time.
So now is an opportune time for the ‘How The Recording Industry Will Cope & Prosper’ seminar, which takes place at the office of industry body BPI (British Phonographic Industry) on Monday July 7, 6.30pm. The free seminar aims to highlight strategies label owners and would-be label owners need to survive in these ever-changing times.
The panel includes Ian Moss (Director of Public Affairs. BPI), Michael Fuller (Head of Legal and Business Affairs. AIM: Association Of Independent Music); Neil 'Mad Professor' Fraser (Producer, engineer, remixer and owner of Ariwa Sounds), and Kwaku (BBM/BMC founder; chair).
Please note that access to the event is from 5.45pm, and there will be no admission after 6.45pm! For more info and to book, click here.
