TRACKLISTING. MONDAY 18/07/2011

With the onus of the show being playing the freshest tunes from new and emerging acts, our interview this week focussed on the issue of artist royalties and representation.

In some ways the world remains unchanged for songwriters from the one I started out in forty years ago – insofar as there’s still no substitute for quality and commitment. Anything slipshod or halfhearted is unlikely to win itself much of an audience. But by the same token, if you actually are the next Radiohead, it’s far easier to get yourselves heard these days thanks to a huge range of low-cost resources available that we could only dream of back in the seventies.

Think Tunecore, AWAL, Bandcamp, PledgeMusic, Soundcloud, Sentric, Sellaband, SliceThePie... Some entities such as Generator and BBC Introducing itself support musicians absolutely free of charge with no strings attached. But only The Performing Right Society has been plugging away for a hundred years to help songwriters get paid for their work. Membership Development officer Jules Parker dropped by to explain why every songwriter, the moment their work is released into the wild, should head along to prsformusic.com and sign up at once.

On the musical front Jules introduced us to the work of fiN, and over both shows this weekend we played out some live performances recorded on the BBC Introducing stage at Glasgow’s T In The Park last weekend by WRONGNOTE, CRUSHING BLOWS, THE NARROWS and JONQUIL frontman Hugo Manuel in his celebrated solo electronic guise as CHAD VALLEY. You can watch live video of most of the performances from that stage over on the main BBC Introducing website…
