Yesterday we dropped a magical workshop inside Punchdrunk Enrichment with Yomi Sode exclusively for #BYOB Poetry crew in Wembley.

Facilitation space is such an overlooked pillar of informal education, this spot was gorgeous

Great stuff would love to hear more

Thanks for the share Andrew

Yeah but Slow News is ace. Love @tortoise

Proud to finally share our big Youth Music report 'Industry Connect' on the state of Music Education. This is one of the most comprehensive pieces of research of recent years and offers a radical rethink. The feedback has been amazing. Have you read it yet?

I'm looking forward to sharing our Youth Music 'Industry Connect' report when its released on 9 December - the result of a major nationwide consultation about all of this...

We need change, and we need it urgently.

Meanwhile the music education sector has been squeezed for over a decade, and many are on their knees (if they're still alive)

Music labels make approx 63% of that $45.5 billion.
Only the biggest artists are benefitting from arena-level money

And yet...
192 festivals disappeared since 2019
16% of live music venues have closed in the past year

(Live Music Mapping Project)

Music industry is booming.
So why are the grassroots, and music education still struggling?

Music smashes box office records: Global Value of Music Copyright soars to $45.5bn, now worth more than cinema — Pivotal Economics Whether you're investing, operating or earning from music copyright, you ought to know how much it's all worth — and how each piece of the puzzle is trending.

The music boom is real
The global value of music copyright (inc sales, licensing and streaming) was $45.5 billion last year. That's $20B more than 10 years ago, and $12B more than cinema box office revenue...

From the vaults. Since then Maverick Sabre has conquered music, Doc Brown made it to Hollywood and Ed... well, you know the rest.

Nice to see Maverick Sabre in the #RoyalAlbertHall archive, talking about 14 years ago and many artists coming thru together. On one night alone Lyrix Organix had Ed Sheeran, Maverick Sabre and Doc Brown on one line up in a pub in Kensal Green (will post that video below)

This panel hosted by my guy Wizdom (Sound Connections) is on point

Honoured to deliver keynote talk at MIME Conference (Music Industry & Music Education) this morning in Manchester.

We shared provocation, findings and ideas from our big Youth Music report 'Industry'

Now kicking back to enjoy a full day of invigorating talks and insights

Wowsers, good luck!

Well heeeey guys. Thanks for the kind words. We love you too, keep up the great work. Its about the only way I can remember 12 years of programming! 😉😁

Been pinballing London today like a frozen, um, pinball.

Tonight it's our first in a series of workshops in Wembley Park as part of a major new public artwork commission for Lyrix Organix with local youth poets

I'd be bouncing with excitement if my pins weren't frozen

Grrst stuff Andrew. Where is it taking place?

A brilliant read for 90s RnB nerds.

It evokes memories of spending my pocket money on US import CDs, in shrink wrapped tray sleeves.

This album still bangs.
