A good and thought provoking series currently on the BEEB.
I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere on the forum, but I think it would be an excellent topic for conversation and exploration. If you have ever had a serious brush with the music industry, you will probably have some strong views on the way it works, or has worked over the decades, and the content of this program.
We are certainly in a point of flux right now, with everyone wondering how to make a living from the business.
It would be very interesting to hear your perspective on this, and your experiences...

Beeb blurb:
"Part three of this entertaining, behind-the-scenes series about how the music business works, explores the phenomenon of band reunions.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Series is worth watching just for Stuart Copeland and Andy Summers bits!
Last chance to watch the last part, either today or Sunday, runs out at 2:39am on Monday morning.
No doubt it will be on again, Auntie Beeb is predictably good at repeats.
These links will probably work then too (hopefully)
