Your Questions:
Alex Lee Thompson: Are ”scenes” over? Unpack that question as you like
Simon Marshall: After the excellent live bands to look out for article, sponsored by Seetickets, I would be interested in your views on the ticket selling part of the music industry - as a music consumer the DICE app was and is a revelation, what is your experience, and what is the best place to buy to support artists and venues?
Ear Protect Req: What three bands or artists should we be checking out live?
Soundmirrorworld: Will the Atmos, immersive audio bubble burst? Or keep going ’til we’re full frontal?
Alex Botten: What do you think about the hoards of zombie cover bands eating up local venues. Are they helping or hurting the scene? (I believe profoundly hurting)
Eric Weiner: Would love to hear your thoughts on the listening party. Are they ever any good? What’s the perfect album release party?
