There’s no business like show business, and for many musicians this now means developing new skills in promotion, CD distribution, and self-management. Lucie Caswell heads up The FAC which was formed ten years ago to support artists navigating new paths in our ever-changing music industry. The Featured Artists Coalition is a UK-based non-profit organisation which lobbies and campaigns for the rights of musicians, highlighting issues such as the relationship between major content providers and record labels, copyright term extension, and anti piracy measures. It encourages a greater connection between fans and artists and aims to promote transparency in the music industry. Hear how The Featured Artists Coalition might be able to help YOU, on this AWIL, plus our latest selection of the best new global CDs! www.thefac.org
