As another spectacular #glastonburyfestival draws to a close, local grassroots music venue & community centre RED BRICK BUILDING CENTRE LIMITED has just 29 days left to reach its target to make essential structural repairs and continue offering vital community services and championing future musicians. Without the chance to play in grassroots music venues like the Red Brick Building there wouldn't be half of the major artists, they wouldn't have the fans and the future of big festivals, like Glastonbury, would be in jeopardy. The Red Brick Building?is a community owned social enterprise?offering a vibrant and creative space where everyone is welcome. For these urgent repair works the estimated cost per pillar is ￡9,000 and they need eight pillars repaired. The additional cost of the floor repairs take the total to approximately ￡117,000.?They need to raise these funds quickly to complete the work during their quietest time of the year, July and?August and ensure they can continue running by fully reopening in September. Please help by: - Spreading the word and sharing this to those who value the Red Brick Building community centre and local grassroots music venues. - Supporting them with a donation to help raise funds to rebuild the pillars https://lnkd.in/euTWAqaq Your donation will help secure the structural integrity of the Red Brick Building and allow them to continue offering vital community services which include creating spaces for work, wellbeing, and enrichment, and offering opportunities in arts, education, and enterprise. By collaborating with like-minded organisations such as Glastonbury Mental Health Network, Feed Avalon, and YMCA, they achieve outcomes such as increased confidence, improved wellbeing, enhanced skills and education, and cultural experiences. These contributions lead to long-term benefits such as reduced isolation, increased employability, raised aspirations, a stronger local economy, improved mental health, and a more resilient community.

Looking forward to reading this: "From cinema programmers to orchestra CEOs, figures across the arts world reveal what 14 years of Tory rule has done to the sector – and whether a change of government would improve anything." In the past, as a Trustee of an impactful arts charity, I appraised that a more enterprising approach can yield more revenue than reliance on the public purse. Whether developing services, engaging with local or regional Corporate Social Responsibility agendas or simply contracting patrons whose tax regimens would be incentivised by donating and their brands developed by a publicly recognised partnership, there are many options that can add value and mitigate the risk of dwindling aid each financial year. #arts #britain #charity #cic #socialenterprise #funding #freedom #addvalue https://lnkd.in/ec-FrhpF

The Importance of Celebrations & Festivals in Our Lives Celebrations and festivals are more than just traditions – they’re essential for a thriving, balanced life. Here’s why: ?? These events bring people together, reinforcing bonds with family, friends, and communities. In a fast-paced world, they remind us of the importance of human connection. ?? Festivals preserve our heritage and values, passing them on to the next generation. They remind us of who we are and where we come from, fostering pride in our unique identities. ?? Celebrating helps reduce stress and boosts happiness. The joy of gathering, the laughter shared, and even the planning process can lift our spirits. ?? Taking time to celebrate personal and collective milestones keeps us motivated. Whether it’s a birthday, a team win, or a cultural festival, these moments give us a fresh perspective and renewed energy. ?? Festivals drive local economies, encourage tourism, and support small businesses. Plus, they often promote charitable causes, spreading goodwill beyond the event itself. So, let’s embrace and honor these moments! Celebrations add richness to our lives, grounding us in joy, unity, and a sense of purpose. #Community #Wellbeing #Culture #Tradition #Festivals #leanpitch

Art festivals need money to exist. If we want a healthy artistic workforce we need to pay people for their work. An art festival business plan doesn't always add up without corporate sponsorship and with limited public funds, and an economic crisis... we are at the mercy of money. It's the responsibility of the festival leaders to align where the money comes from with the festival's values that should represent the audience /community values. But we know a lot of money, doesn't always come from a clean source. How to deal with money that comes from 'dirty' sources? Is rejecting it for good use, wrong? What would be the reliable alternative for fundraising? This is such a difficult challenge but I'd love to hear YOUR view on this. https://lnkd.in/eyqPM25w

Bristol hoteliers call for more big gigs as YTL Arena Bristol faces delays ???? More big gigs and major events all year round could provide a welcome boost to business for Bristol’s hospitality sector, the Bristol Hoteliers Association (BHA) has said. The non-profit organisation is calling for more to be done to speed up the development of the long-awaited YTL Arena while applauding Ashton Gate – home of Bristol City Football Club and Bristol Bears rugby team – for its efforts in putting the city on the musical map. Earlier this month, the sports stadium hosted two Take That concerts which, between them, drew some 60,000 fans. BHA chair Raphael Herzog said: “More than 50 per cent of all attendees to the Take That concerts were from outside the region, which meant they were staying in hotels, dining and drinking in local bars and restaurants and putting their pounds into the local economy.

New Post: ‘A Fundamental Change’: How Major Labels Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Distro?Deals - https://lnkd.in/gRDWCpMQ - Major labels and distribution companies were once distinct entities with different ways of doing business. In today’s music industry, however, “distributors are starting to look like labels, and labels are starting to look like distributors,” says entertainment attorney David Fritz.? Each of the major label groups has its own distribution arm: Sony relies on The Orchard, Universal leans on Virgin, Warner has ADA. Confusingly, at varying points in the last five years, many of the frontline labels have launched distribution offerings too, whether that’s Republic (Imperial), 300 (Sparta), Alamo (which is affiliated with both Santa Anna and another distribution company, Foundation), or Interscope. Sony also has AWAL, which focuses more on nurturing individual artists, whereas The Orchard usually looks to sign and support labels. These companies are all in competition with each other — and often with the various frontline labels as well.? For Kirk Harding, a veteran artist manager and co-owner of the Bad Habit label, the meaning of all this activity is clear. “Everyone knows what the future is,” he says. “The major labels are going to be distribution companies with really big catalogs.” Related Deep Dive: The Distribution?Revolution 08/03/2022 This would have been hard to fathom just five years ago. “It’s a fundamental change in how we’re operating,” acknowledges one major label A&R executive.? Frontline major label deals typically come with budgets — for recording, marketing and more — along with access to teams of people who can theoretically help artists find new songwriting partners, polish their TikTok clips and find money to support a tour. Since the label invests resources and services in the artists, it takes a significant chunk of the money that they earn, as well as rights to the songs they make.? Distribution deals are often the polar opposite. They typically come with far less money up front, few, if any, services, and significantly shorter terms. Since the company offering the deal doesn’t commit much, it doesn’t take much.? The frontline major labels were historically opposed to offering distribution agreements precisely because they tend to be short-term deals where the majority of the money made goes to the artist. That severely limits the upside for the record companies, which through the decades built their multi-billion-dollar valuations via long-term agreements — often five albums or more — in which they obtained artists’ recordings in perpetu
