And yet more trade body news, because the Featured Artist Coalition is expected to meet next Monday evening, and Music Week reckons members of Pink Floyd, Coldplay and The Feeling may be among those featured artists to attend.
As previously reported, the FAC was officially launched at In The City last year. Although spearheaded by the Music Managers Forum, it is an independent body that will exist to represent so called featured artists, they being the artists whose names appear on the front of albums - ie the musicians and singers you all know the names of, rather then session musicians whose names only appear in the small print.
Although in theory those artists could join the Musician's Union, some reckon a separate body is needed to specifically represent their interests.
Blur's Dave Rowntree, Radiohead's Ed O'Brien, Soul II Soul's Jazzie B, Master Shortie and Kate Nash have been leading the proceedings since the body's launch, and they are expected to report back to the Coalition's membership next week, on both their recent meeting with Culture Minister Andy Burnham, and on their proposals for how the organisation will work moving forward.
Over 700 artists have already signed up to the Coalition, including Annie Lennox, Klaxons, Robbie Williams, Jools Holland and Kaiser Chiefs.
