This is desperately required. As are responses to all the other recommendations in the excellent Select Committee Report. Especially the fact that these Oasis shows have contributed nothing at all to the grassroots sector economy.

On this week’s TMT, we welcome one of the independent sector’s most powerful voices, AIM interim CEO/Chief Policy Officer Gee Davy. There are big talking points in indie world right now – UMG/PIAS, Merlin/TikTok, streaming remuneration – & Gee has lots to say about them all
