Since 92 Manchester puts on annual music industry convention called In The City (Inthecity.co.uk)
This yr it took place Oct 18-20. ITC aims to educate and inspire music artists/industry people.
There’s discussion panels on emerging issues in musician and up’n coming bands play. Four discussions this year have been podcasted.
I encourage you to check them out (itc.co.uk, then click podcasts) specifically one called The Importance of Being Idols. Panel is outspoken Jon McClure (Reverend & the Makers), BBC Radio DJ Tom Robinson, Steve White (drummer Paul Weller), Clint Boon (keyboardist Inspiral Carpets) and more…
The discussion focuses on the media’s dumbing down of artists into celebrities, the public’s responsibility/involvement in doing so, and the resulting decline of artistic creativity. An interesting part of the discussion focuses on a movement called InstigateDebate(.com) — about the public’s role to redirect/generate dialogue on ethical, international & domestic issues.
Youtubes of celebrities interviews on these topics are available. Interesting to note their range of knowledge, and comfort discussing such issues – some surprisingly in the know, others sad.
