The second ITC panel podcast is now available on iTunes and www.inthecity.co.uk and features the official announcement of the new Featured Artist Coalition, made at In The City 2008.
The FAC has made headline news this week with its first board meeting and introduction to the mainstream media. Its board features artists such as Billy Bragg, Ed O’Brien, Dave Rowntree, Jazzie B and, as featured in this podcast, Kate Nash.
The podcast features Jeremy Silver, Kate Nash and a clip of some of the artists that have signed up from the start - and explains the aims and the need for such a body to exist: “The Featured Artists' Coalition campaigns for the protection of performers' and musicians' rights. We want all artists to have more control of their music and a much fairer share of the profits it generates in the digital age. We speak with one voice to help artists strike a new bargain with record companies, digital distributors and others, and are campaigning for specific changes.”
