Following the highly successful panel discussion about the new 360° deals in the music industry in March, we are now discussing the future of music contracts and opportunities for new business models. So-called 360° contracts refer to agreements where the label is asking for a share in all areas of a musician's income from record sales to touring and merchandising. Yet these deals only represent one – highly controversial – business model that has evolved from the resent slump in record sales effecting big labels. Our panel of music industry insiders will not only look at the advantages and disadvantages of signing with an international label but also at alternatives that have emerged from new ways of music distribution and promotion. Panellists include Nicki Stein, IP expert at Clintons, Phil Nelson, Band Manager, John Truelove, Truelove Music / Tortured Artists Ltd. The panel was chaired by Nicola Slade, Editor of Record of the Day, and the event took place at the London College of Communication in June 2008. The podcast is downloadable in two parts.

What if there is a way of making a living out of creating content? This event was aimed at Writer, Director or Producer alike and took place 22nd January at the Delegates Centre, BFI Southbank.
