MusicTank have published a new assessment on the state of the music business, penned by legendary artist manager Peter Jenner, who has managed the likes of Pink Floyd, The Clash, Ian Drury and Billy Bragg over the years, and who is Secretary General of the International Music Managers Forum and Chairman of the European Live Music Forum.
The report, called 'Beyond The SoundBytes', takes a string of recent MusicTank Think Tank debates as its starting point, and goes on to assess how the music business should be responding to the radical changes in technology and consumer attitudes which have occurred in the last ten years, and which will continue to occur in the coming years. It is hoped the report will kick off wider debate, which will then come together at a planned MusicTank conference next month.
We'll run through some of the key points in tomorrow's Daily, meantime you can order copies of the report for yourself from http://www.musictank.co.uk.
