Description

Cheshire Matters proudly presents the third in a mini series of Music Industry Specials hosted by Mark Hartley featuring Jonathan Starkey, aka Ab Fab who in his spare time from hosting the Cheshire Matters podcast, is a virtuoso pianist and production music composer distributing his recordings to 90 countries via Sony, Universal, Amphonic and his own label JMN, for use in the broadcast industries of those countries.

Pt.3 gives insights and exposes harsh music industry truths regarding copyrights organisations, their Executive, major publisher influence over operations of the CMOs and their relationships with broadcasters, lobbying satellites paid for by the members without democratic consent and failures of government departments like the Intellectual Property Office to properly regulate the industry. This information in a condensed form and is seldom found in other podcasts. Jonathan goes where other 'angels fear to tread'.

Music in this episode is taken from:

Stride & Boogie, Composed, Arranged and Performed by Jonathan Starkey.
