CMU Insights: Tune into the CMU@IVW panels this week
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 25 January 2021
It’s Independent Venue Week this week and as part of the proceedings CMU is presenting three free online panels, taking place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 5pm.
THE GRASSROOTS LIVE MUSIC ECOSYSTEM
On Tuesday, we’ll look at how the live music industry has come together during the COVID pandemic, collaborating and lobbying in a much more proactive way. Can that collaboration continue beyond the current crisis, and how might that benefit the independent music community? And also, does the live side of the business need to be talking more regularly to labels, publishers and managers?
ACCESS TO ARTS AND CULTURE – HOW COVID DROVE LONG OVERDUE CHANGE
On Wednesday, we’ll be looking at how the COVID-caused rise of online concerts and performances has actually made live music more accessible – one of the few upsides of the pandemic. How can that be maintained beyond COVID? And how can live streaming be enhanced to make sure it can be fully utilised and enjoyed by disabled and deaf music-makers and music fans?
THE FUTURE OF THE LIVE COMMUNITY
On Thursday, we’ll be looking beyond the pandemic and considering what the future live music industry looks like. How much talent and infrastructure will have been lost by the time live music returns? And will live streaming and other digital innovations become part of the live music experience long-term?
Among the experts taking part in these panels are Bush Hall’s Betsy Harley, Drake Music’s Carien Majer, Arts Council England’s Claire Mera-Nelson, Featured Artists Coalition’s David Martin, artist manager and MMF board member Ellie Giles, Sage Gateshead’s Emily Jones, Attitude Is Everything’s Jacob Adams, artist John Kelly, Brudenell Social Club’s Nathan Clark, Marauder’s Rev Moose, ATC and Driift’s Ric Salmon, artist Ruth Patterson and Sybil Bell from Independent Venue Week.
