There's a whole world movement going on that I didn't know about and it's a radical opportunity not just for music, but for culture, sports, all the community facilities we all care deeply about but are at risk.

Why are grassroots music venues treated differently to theatres, arts centres, cinemas when it comes to licensing and access for young people? More than that… why are they treated differently to arenas and stadiums?

Culture is not a luxury — it’s an engine for economic recovery.
In my latest Substack piece, I propose how funding local arts and venues can drive real economic change from the ground up.

Here’s a chart for you.
Latest Substack from me, with some thoughts on the Music Fans' Voice.
The main thing that comes across is how well informed fans are and how much they care. The fans’ voice has been ignored for too long.

Without any hint of irony or self-awareness, a clip from a BBC article describing the problems Canada will need to overcome from losing its trading agreement with the USA.
But Brexit? We mustn’t talk about such things. It’s ’the will’ of 27% of the people, 9 years ago, on 1 day.

Britain is now back in exactly the same economic place it was in 55 years ago which led to a political consensus in the 1970s to join the Common Market.

Definitely the thing to fight back with in a ball game. Would be the wrong approach to fight back with a tricycle or a small piece of fruit.

This is disgraceful. Taking someone else’s work, giving it to a machine, and letting it steal everything from it without paying the original creators? There should be a law against it!

A fairly simple error in this headline and subsequent article… no one is saying big acts shun the area, and no one is saying that there isn’t music in Wolverhampton. The data says that Wolverhampton is being massively undervalued as a great place to take a grassroots artist to build their careers.

I’ve posted above some output from Deepseek, here it is again. Would be interested in your view of if you think this demonstrates ‘artificial intelligence’, as most people would perceive it, or something else. It certainly has its uses, I’m just doubtful about what it actually is.
