On merch commissions… If, like Nath, you care about and support artists, and value their role within the music industry & ecosystem, you don’t charge commission, or come up with creative ways to do it properly. Grateful for Nath Brudenell and wish everyone was like this!

Coming your way, Leeds! Save the dates…

Dynamic pricing is loathsome but maybe consider not feeding these arbitrarily huge mega-acts and go see far more interesting bands, artists, for £12 a go? So much easier, so much more rewarding. So much going on. So much you could be seeing. Adjust your habits.

Thanks so much for joining us Leeds City Museum for the first our September Sunday lunchtime series with Pianodrome & Leeds International Piano Competition. What a magical musical afternoon! Join us again next Sunday at 1pm. Reserve a place here: bit.ly/PianoSessionsL…

Positive to see you are monitoring this, Chris. Artists are finding it incredibly difficult to tour at the grassroots level. If there are no performances, there is no live music industry. If there are no new bands touring, there will be no ‘next’ Oasis…
