Having made the comment that he doesn't think that music streaming platforms represent a particularly lucrative opportunity for composers and songwriters, music producer Luke Jones, begins to lay out his opinions on alternative ways to monetise music. 

This involves him remembering a phone call from the year 2000 and explaining the awkward financial realities surrounding the cost of releasing music in the pre-streaming era.

Why did 80’s pop act “Frankie Goes to Hollywood” make so little money compared to music industry legend Kate Bush?

Join Luke as he continues his mission, to demystify the business side of the music industry with anecdotes, real life examples and re-enacted phone calls with members of the music industry.

Here are some links to things that Luke recommends in this series, including the excellent book “Exit Stage Left: The Curious Afterlife of Pop Stars” by Nick Duerden
