Music
revenues are up, with more formats than ever before, but still a third down on
the peak of 2002.
25% are
spent into A & R to develop new music and it is crucially important to have
investment in new talent coming through and for the grassroots to be supported.
Also important to have curators.
We have to ask - can we be passive or
engage in shaping our own choices?

| Nile Rodgers & Irvine Welsh |
On radio Scotland Rodgers spoke of his excitement over
his new festival, and playing with good mates Earth wind and Fire at Glasgow’
Kelvinggrove park.
I met
Nile at Edinburgh book festival a few year back and he did an awesome fun talk
there with his guitar in the Spiegel tent! Earth Wind and Fire and Chic! Great fun!
