Here is another short excerpt from my forthcoming book ‘A Hero’s Journey Through the Music Industry’. Out soonish……
It’s early spring 2006 and I’m in London at the PRS building (Performing Rights Society) standing before a room full of music industry people who have assembled to hear ‘How we did it?’ They are here to listen to our ‘giant-killing‘ fairy tale of how the little guy took on the big guy (in this case the biggest guy on the block, X-Factor) and triumphed. I am describing our journey from a provincial indie label to Number One record and (eventually) 1 million sales and sharing some of the experiences and the odd funny story with the assembled throng and it all seems to be going quite well. I have done a few of these events now, (I’m starting to feel like a game show host).
I just wanted to do a quick update on the following;
-
My progress with the book ‘A Hero’s Journey Through the Music Industry’…
-
Where I am with my next blogs…
-
How I am shifting the blog topics to more specific areas of performance, musicianship and the music industry.
Summer Time…So, I took the summer off, unusual for me I know. My son Luke got married to the beautiful Stephanie, we traveled a bit, discovered the amazing wild beauty of Achill Island of the coast of Mayo and generally made the most of a summer break. ( just noticed that if you put a space into Achill you get “A chill’ island, and that says it all really). I see now the summer has given me time to reflect on this website and on my blogs. Some time to think about what they want to become?
