July 2024 Updates
Edinburgh Fringe is go
So the good old Edinburgh Fringe kicks off today. We’ve been talking to lots of brilliant people who are performing this year and will have new Q&As going live on the website every day – Caro’s interviews with this lot are already online. Plus do check out our Three To See show recommendations, there will be another batch of them on Friday. It’s all at online here.
Sample our masterclasses
If you know anyone who would like to sample our all-new CMU Masterclasses – which are available online on-demand – we currently have a very limited offer on a special bundle that provides access to two sessions, together explaining recording rights and record deals, and song rights and publishing deals. This bundle usually costs £129, but we have a small number of places available at just £19.35. More info here – use the discount code Q7GL67J. And get info on all the new masterclasses here.
Edinburgh Threes To See
So it’s almost time for the Edinburgh Festival again. Not sure where the last year went. ThreeWeeks is covering it all for the 28th time. Even less sure where the last 28 years went! Nevertheless, Caro has got things started with the first of her Three To See show tips for Festival 2024 – there will be lots more tips, interviews and reviews to follow in the next few weeks.
Edinburgh incoming
The Edinburgh Festival is getting really rather close now. If you – or anyone you know – is performing or producing there this year, make sure those shows are on the ThreeWeeks radar, Caro is already planning lots of coverage. You can do that by using the shows form here.
CMU masterclasses
Earlier this month I recorded ten of my CMU masterclasses which are now available online on-demand at anytime. I cover rights, revenues, deals, data, licensing, labels, publishing, platforms and a whole lot more. We are currently offering a massive early bird discount, so if you think these courses could be good for you or your colleagues, do check out all the info here.
Election day
On election day in 2019 I was in Thailand, and Waltham Forest screwed up my postal vote, so I didn’t get to put a cross in a box. Therefore, everything that has happened in the last 4.5 years, nothing to do with me. For the next 5 years, I am willing to take my 1/49,000,000th of the responsibility. By which, I mean, I voted.
