Hey Bluesky, here’s a question for you:
If generative AI continues to improve & eventually clogs up social media with accounts indistinguishable from real humans, do you think that will make social media more or less popular & why?
Love this from Kate ❤️
Without grassroots music venues & investment into emerging artists, the talent pipeline is pinched 🎫
Musicians deserve spaces to perform & we deserve their music 🎵
We want a £1 blanket levy on all tickets 🙏🏼

You don’t need to be the biggest artist in the world for your music to matter, for it to mean something to others
You don’t need to be an influencer to find your voice and connect with likeminded people
You just need to be open to meeting people & invite them for a drink, a walk, a chat
And one of my favourite things in life is encouraging people, connecting people, creating communities of likeminded people, listening actively, reminding them of their brilliance. That their art, their voice & their music deserves to be heard
One of my favourite things in life is meeting people, learning about their lives, their passions, their doubts, our similarities, our differences, what I can learn from them, how I can help them.

LONDON: Music Meet
Earlier this year, I started a mailing list for London-based music professionals who want to network & meet more pals
Last night, we had the first meet. We loved meeting for the first time, discussing careers, the music industry, the music we love, advice & aspirations
Love to see it 😍 such a special band 🔥
An absolutely spiritual experience watching Robert Glasper last night at KOKO ✨
If you’re feeling isolated in this chaotic world, get yourself to a gig & remember you’re part of this community 🌍
Same! It’s been a proper special year for music 🕺🏼
Hey Tina, it’s my 1st day on here. Glad to hear you’ve enjoyed your 1st week 👌🏼 would love to be added to the #MusicIndustry starter pack if possible. Hope you have a great week!
SO excited to see Robert Glasper at KOKO tonight
Black Radio III is easily one of my favourites albums of the last 10 years. He is a music icon.
Anyone else keen?

Proud to have hosted Beyond The Music: Inspire in Manchester last month, to share knowledge & support the next generation of our Music Industry
Beautiful to see so many peers & pals in one place
Community is everything 🐝
I wrote about it here: www.accesscreative.ac.uk/blog/beyond-...
Love to see it ❤️ massive step forward in enhancing the conveyor belt from emerging artist at small cap venue to established touring act the world over.
It’s been a very long time coming!
Thanks for this Sean. Would love to be added to the Music Industry starter pack please
Day 1 of Bluesky
I miss the early days of Twitter where it felt like a close-knit community, especially in and around the Music Industry
I’ve met so many people IRL because of that era. Thankful.
Hoping Bluesky can deliver that sense of community once more 🦋
Great to see! Thank goodness for @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social
Looking forward to reading this. Thanks for sharing Andy!
