As if Covid wasnt enough of a blow to our live music scene it seems that UK artists will be faced with red tape and fees for visa’s in order to tour and play in some EU countries.
Many musicians feel that the government have failed them and despite a very straightforward plan being put forward during negotiation stages, which would have allowed musiocians to travel without work permits,the EU rejected the proposal.

Computers use an online database to display CD information, the most common one is known as Gracenote, a more detailed article on Gracenote can be found here Gracenote CD Database and CD-TEXT.
Tunes and Windows Media Player DO NOT read and CD-Text embedded on the actual CD, at all! This is common for all computer CD player software.
When the CD information is displayed on a computer, the info is coming from an online database. The database is usually Gracenote (the more common) or AllMusic.
The Gracenote database serves CD information to: iTunes, WinAmp, Quintessential Media Player, and Finder (Mac OS). The AllMusic database serves CD information to: Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, and Real Music Player.
Registration on these databases must be completed by you, the client, rather than us as no extra information is added to the CD for them to work.
You can find further information on how to submit your CD on the below links.

Many of us have seen recently how music can be used as great therapy with many medical conditions.
Through Lockdown we have seen music bring much joy and consolation to people who are living remotely or housebound; indeed it brings joy to all of us and can raise the spirits at any time.
A fine example of this has come into the spotlight this week.
A piece of music composed from just 4 notes by Paul Harvey aged 80 years who is suffering with dementia, has now been recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
And most importantly given him a new lease of life.

If you dont want to just give your music away via Spotify or any other streaming/download facility have a look at our sister company The Digital Publishing Center :
https://www.thedigitalpublishingcenter.com/
It is free to sign up and pay as you go service…if you dont sell anything you won’t pay anything.
Upload your content to our servers and your customers can buy your music/video or information with “buy buttons” from your website or social media pages. We action the digital delivery to your customer once they have paid you and bill you a monthly 10% commission fee.
It’s really worth looking into this as a way to make some money with less live gigs and social gatherings in the current climate.
