@MarstonsPLC @Paddy_McGinty had a pint of #MarstonsPedigree last night; a once fab, complex Ale reduced to saccharine insipidty - has the #BurtonUnion finally gone? @CarlsbergUK are sabotaging UK brewing history for the sake of quick profits; any comment @CAMRA_Official ???

Eliciting tiny royalty increases from within the shackles of Ad & Sub-Fund, let alone social media, delivers nothing meaningful for 99% of #music creators; bolder action is required #OneWayOrAnother #FixStreaming #Blondie @BlondieOfficial @clem_burke @chrissteinplays #DebbieHarry

Classic No1 from an era when bands not only had something to say, but the ability & craft to say it #FoodForThought #FixStreaming @UB40 @UB40OFFICIAL #Reggae #RockSteady #UB40 @iReggaeShow @RootsReggaeHub @RBCUB40 @MartinJMeredith @MattMC40 @JBUB401 @DavidRodigan @ReggaeRecords

#PlasticOnoBand for me, is #JohnLennon's most underrated & unrecognised works; a true masterpiece of it's time; powerhouse songwriting; insightful, sardonic, sad & uplifting; and super recording & playing too. @mrtimbowes - remember analysing #RingoStarr's playing in the studio?

[Sonstream @SonStreamLtd]

2x All time Classics by late great @johnlennon to add to your Sonstream Album Collection; both Albums heavily influenced by @yokoono & both Albums massive influences on millions ever since #TheBeatles #JohnLennon #YokoOno #ClassicAlbums #RingoStarr #PaulMcCartney #GeorgeHarrison

“Road Rage” is felt towards political & #MusicBiz hierarchy for lack of imagination to #FixStreaming Solutions to copyright & contractual law are clear as to are benefits to consumer, artist & taxman; courage & ideas are needed, not bromides @bpi_music @NadineDorries @Jason_Keen

[Crispin Hunt @crispinhunt]

@plasmatron Yup, market consolidation presents a clear conflict of interests with certain corps owning venues, Merch Co’s, management co’s, festivals, ticket co’s, secondary ticket co’s, labels….etc.

Is there really a free market for music or a cartel of corps in cahoot?

[Crispin Hunt @crispinhunt]

This practice has to cease.

At every level of the Music Industry musicians revenue is degraded.

The fairy-tale that *all the money’s in gigs ’n T-shirts* is yet another deceit — a mirage to cover-up systematic exploitation of the talent that drives the music economy.

Thank you so much to everyone who did this over the week. So gratifying to know people are listening and allowed us to sneak into the @SonStreamLtd chart, nestled under David Bowie, which is a lovely place to be. x

[Toby James @tobyjames33]

New indie artists don’t have a fraction of the stability or sustainability upcoming artists of the vinyl/tape era. The Stones got as good as they were because they were paid for the graft from the beginning #FixStreaming #BrokenRecord @CommonsDCMS @Freedland @hilaryosborne

@DDaviesScribe10 There's a lot of small-medium names selling us all out too, for the price of a playlist or a billboard

Top tune out on @SonStreamLtd now

[Sonstream @SonStreamLtd]

A profound error in MusicBiz is to consider all solutions only in context of subscription & ad-fund – which will NEVER work for 99.9% of songwriters &/or recording artists! Subs would need be £50 & no consumer will ever pay that upfront! There is another way @abba #FixStreaming

Wow, @SonStreamLtd I've already earned a lot more in 3 weeks with you than 10 months on Spotify. 🙏🙂

[Sonstream @SonStreamLtd]

Scenes depicted in this classic at No1 are gloriously nostalgic; sadly not just because of Covid. Only brave reform of copyright law can rebuild music economy from ground up for ALL musicians, songwriters, venues & even labels! #FixStreaming @DaveRowntree @OliverDowden @KennyFarq

[Sonstream @SonStreamLtd]

Ad-Fund & Subscription fail the majority of the creators & even the majority of consumers. Only re-defining a stream as a unit to the consumer, as well as the platform & label, can the ecosystem be restored for all #FixStreaming @laurenlaverne @cj_dinenage @Ruth_Emery @lee_boyce

@Lanre_Bakare @crispinhunt @fionabevan @MrTomGray @Orphyvibes @nadineshah @AyannaWJ @imo_g_en @helienne @nilerodgers Great artists interviewed, but ruined by platforming the ex-pirates, big tech and major labels who are responsible for the rigged game in the first place. The system isn't broken, they designed it that way! What about @resonatecoop @AudiusProject @SonStreamLtd @ampl3d #playfair

[Jayne Taylor @JayneTaylorSONS]

Bugger All! The problem is that though @PRSforMusic collect royalties from streams @PPLUK don't - which means the bass player @BruceFoxton and anyone else in the band gets zero. Basically the law needs be changed #FixStreaming #BrokenRecord @cj_dinenage @tom_watson
