After a long time planning, we finally launched Screen & Film School Manchester last September.

I've been freelance lecturing there since and it has been a blast this far. Working alongside lots of amazing people, a hardworking first cohort of students, and the mammoth task of overseeing 17 music video groups.

Looking forward to doing it all over again in a couple of weeks 🎬

Since March 2020 the live music industry have not been allowed to work as a result of the pandemic, with many industry professionals falling through the cracks when it has come to financial support.

With no clear pathway on how we can get back to gigs, the industry is in trouble. Suppliers are going out of business, small venues are facing closure, and talented specialists are leaving the industry to find new careers.

'This Is Just An Interval' hears accounts from a cross section of the live music industry including artists, promoters, equipment suppliers, and freelance professionals that make up the 'live events supply chain'.

Tomorrow I'll be speaking on a panel at in Barcelona, discussing whether music video can be used as a new source of income for artists.

Some really interesting topics on the table; including the recent change in EU law aiming to fix the "value gap" between content sharing providers and content creators.
