MusicTank events and courses 2012
Date Posted: 27th February 2012
1) MUSICTANK EVENT DETAILS:
The Big Question: Can Streaming Go Mainstream?
MusicTank’s first think tank of 2012 will shed light on the streaming model of music consumption, the revenue shares and royalties involved and its future among an increasingly wary recordings sector.
Streaming, which creates arguably the biggest change in music consumption since the invention of wax cylinder, replaces the ingrained ownership model with a pay-for-access model that is little understood, and which many of whom, especially artists find unrewarding. The think tank will drill to the centre of the issue, answering the two central questions – How does the model work? And how do the artists get paid?

2) MUSICTANK COURSE DETAILS:
Get Plugged In: Live Music, Promotion and Venue Management Course
Monday evenings commencing February 27th 2012 | Course Tutor: Andy Inglis - Co-founder, The Luminaire
Despite the economic challenges that lie ahead, 2012 could be a breakthrough year for small venues across the UK. With reforms to the Licensing Act set to ease the sector and the appetite for big ticket arena concerts on the wane, there's no better time for small venue operators and promoters to update their knowledge, refresh their skills and drive new business.
MusicTank is again partnering with with Andy Inglis, the hugely respected co-creator and manager of north London venue The Luminaire to run its second live music industry course. Designed as a much needed best-practice roadmap for live music promotion and venue management, this six part course draws on Inglis’ two decades of experience, sharing lessons learned and highlighting the pitfalls plaguing promoters and venue operators UK wide. The course will update on an extensive range of topics concerning venue owners, promoters, artists and programmers including promotion, ticketing, legislative issues as well as the future concerns facing the UK’s live music industry.
Appealing to venue promoters and owners as well as tour managers, booking agents, artists and artist managers, this extensive course promises to guide and encourage those learning their trade as well as identify the risks felling even the industry titans in one of the last sectors of the business still able to generate income for new bands.
