• Also links to practical guides for musicians, students and promoters;
• Reports on legislation and economic trends.
• Audio-visual material, eg interviews with key promoters and conference panels.

More about LiveMusicExchange.org:-

"The blog is carefully edited and curated to combine a range of voices with a degree of provenance not always found on informal websites, allowing for accessibility and currency.

"Contributors to date include leading figures in the field of popular music studies such as Simon Frith (Tovey Professor of Music at Edinburgh University and Chair of the Mercury Prize), Martin Cloonan and Dave Laing as well as academics in other fields writing about where their work intersects with musical concerns.

"Relevant non-academic writers also feature, such as the Assistant General Secretary to the Musicians' Union (Horace Trubridge) and live music campaigner Hamish Birchall."
