In today's music business environment, it appears as if AI-driven music will continue to take market share from the largest music rightsholders, defining the music business of tomorrow. It is not impossible for these music rightsholders to thrive in this ‘new normal’. But, due to a number of threats to their dominance, the global business’s power balance is irrevocably changing. #AIinmusic #musicbusinessworldwide #newnormal https://hubs.ly/Q02yp7gR0

British grassroots organisation Music Venue Trust has successfully secured a landmark policy change in the UK that will see a portion of every ticket sold at arenas and stadiums directed towards supporting grassroots music venues, artists, and promoters. This initiative is a vital step in sustaining and growing the live music sector from the ground up! We endorse a similar approach, along with a broad-based tax rebate for live music. Together they could play a crucial role in revitalising Australia’s live music sector and supporting the next generation of talent.

Ingenuity and the power of people to follow their dreams never ceases to amaze me. No matter how dark the sky there is always light somewhere. And yet that brightness shouldn't blind us to the challenges that people are continually having to overcome. Challenges that I still believe we as a society can work to overcome. The term coined by DJ friends of mine over lockdown, on those streams that kept us all sane, is "music connects us all". Reading this report I have hope that it will continue to do so. I've watched from the side-lines, as a consumer, the return of our much loved music events. Of the return to socialising in a way that is the same and yet still somewhat different. It's fantastic to see that employment is rising and the real amount the industry contributes to the UK economy. But if you want to see the heartbreaking, ongoing, impact of Brexit on upcoming talent, and the future if we can't find a solution to the crippling costs which are driving grassroots venues under then the report has plenty for you too.
