HELLO THERE

I run UnLimited Media, co-lead Pathways Into Music, advise the Council Of Music Makers, and wrote Dissecting The Digital Dollar and Music Copyright Explained.

Back in Leyton after my trip to Scotland via Cyprus. I very much enjoyed talking copyright and streaming with some of the Cypriot music community in Larnaca on Sunday and then the EmuBands team in Glasgow yesterday. And here are some of the clouds I flew over (or past) along the way.
Today I am mainly hanging out at Luton Airport, in transit from Cyprus to Scotland, because I didn’t trust Wizz Air to get me to the UK on schedule, so I went with a later Glasgow flight. As it turns out, it wasn’t necessary, my first flight arrived 20 minutes early – with apologies to Wizz Air for my lack of faith! Instead of a photo of my current view (Luton Airport Pret), here’s one of yesterday’s view (the sea in Larnaca).
I am in Cyprus – a country which, I’m pleased to report, still stamps British passports at the border. Given I paid for extra pages in my passport just before Schengen countries stopped stamping, I might come here every weekend. This weekend I’m here for the East Cyprus Music Meeting to run my Music Copyright Explained workshop.
Magnificent day at Un-Convention in Manchester yesterday – thanks to Jeff and team for inviting me to join the AI conversation on stage, which covered lots of interesting topics – and it was great to catch up with lots of people across the day. And now I’m going to Cyprus!
