Almost 18 months into making this documentary podcast series, music producer Luke Jones was approached by a journalist, who wanted a comment from a music industry professional for an article.

Secretly overjoyed that FINALLY people were considering him a valuable industry commentator, he was quickly dissappointed to learn, that the article was yet another piece about the poor financial returns artists receive from streaming platforms.

So what is ACTUALLY going on with this issue?

Are artists and musicians being completely ripped-off, or is the issue a bit more complicated than it first appears?

Luke investigates!

How a Young Indie Band was signed by Alan McGee.

One thing you rarely hear in the music business, is an honest account of how a band ACTUALLY got signed.

Loads of acts are happy to talk about themselves and their music, but often their biography cuts from "we met in high school and started jamming"....to "....and then Sony released our album".

I don't know about you...but it's the bit inbetween that interests me!

So when I met a young musician who had been signed by the music industry legend Alan McGee, I jumped at the chance to interview him!

In this episode, I chat to musician Arwel Brown about his band Young Garbo and how they signed to the new incarnation of Creation Records.

In the process, we end up mentioning Adele, Oasis, Scott Weiland, Teenage Fanclub, Primal Scream, Charli XCX and the concept of a rock star.

Here are some links to things that Luke recommends, including all of the bands in which Arwel Brown is currently involved with!

Tv Syncs in the year 2000 and why Kate Bush is still Awesome!

Having made the comment that he doesn't think that music streaming platforms represent a particularly lucrative opportunity for composers and songwriters, music producer Luke Jones, begins to lay out his opinions on alternative ways to monetise music.

This involves him remembering a phone call from the year 2000 and explaining the awkward financial realities surrounding the cost of releasing music in the pre-streaming era.

Why did 80’s pop act “Frankie Goes to Hollywood” make so little money compared to music industry legend Kate Bush?

Join Luke as he continues his mission, to demystify the business side of the music industry with anecdotes, real life examples and re-enacted phone calls with members of the music industry.

Here are some links to things that Luke recommends in this series, including the excellent book “Exit Stage Left: The Curious Afterlife of Pop Stars” by Nick Duerden
