Its a new movement called The Music Spring and the guests will blow your mind! https://youtu.be/watch?v=XQFDEl_6KC0 Streamed live every Sunday The Music Spring Live Broadcast - S1 Ep5 : Music Business Revenue Streams In the traditional label model, artists had a whole record label worth of people together to maximize the money earned and the exposure gained from an artists public persona as well as their releases and live gigs. The model has changed, the revenue streams have changed, but the complexity behind understanding the business side of it all remains the same for most artists. In this episode of The Music Spring, our panel will aim to de-mystify the music revenue stream puzzle. The downloadable audio podcast is available here | bit.ly/16NCcGz Songwriter Group Fortnightly Weekly Paul Somerville has started a small, dedicated songwriter group meeting fortnightly in the Ultimo area –any style/s of music okay, just has to be people who are really serious are improving their craft. Basically the only rule I envisage is: you must bring something new every meeting. Any interested people can contact Paul Somerville 0417 171 993 / [email protected] From Glen Live I have a new venue opening up in Western Sydney later this year....

And re my Item “Less Hosting From Me” in a earlier edition In case you missed it or were confused by what I said some weeks ago -I am still organizing gigs, just not hosting or performing as much - I am still the person to contact for gigs! What I said was: “After trying to make a living as a full time musician and event organiser for the last 3 years, I have been forced to return to full time work. I will be starting a full time job back in IT next Monday 11th Feb. Don’t worry, I will keep organising songwriters nights and sending out my newsletter in my free time, but will have to stop most of the hosting I have been doing, partly because I have to be available to work back in my new job. Fortunately I have a great group of immensely talented hosts who are taking over that for me! “ If you sign up for a gig and then can’t make it PLEASE let me know (by text or phone if short notice), so I can either arrange a replacement or at least notify the host not to expect you and adjust playing times accordingly! For more information about how these gigs work see PERFORMERS NOTES and THE GIGS I RUN at GENERAL INFORMATION Sunday Sessions - studio/rehearsal/theatre/space in Alexandria sessions82a.wordpress 82A Sunday Sessions, FREE to participants.

Go after your dream, its not just going to knock on your door. It will take a courageous effort stepping out into the unknown. Always ask. The fear of failure is the biggest hindrance on progress. Who cares if you get told no? Or dont quite get it right the first time. Get back up and do it again Always keep moving forward. Only fools trip over something thats behind them Learn from the past, but dont let it control your present! Please feel free to send in your tips, practical ones or motivational ones, funny ones, whatever you think will finish the newsletter on a good note!!
