... Come on! What happens in music is exactly the same as what happened to shareware programs. Here you had some guy spending hours to develop a utility...
Greetings Rattlers. ... I wonder if that was the gig I was at which may well have been one of the first In Cahoots gigs. I distinctly remember someone (Phil?)...
Mark: I agree wholeheartedly. I'm saving every single thread on this discussion. It's been quite an eye-opener. The truth of the matter is file-sharing is here...
That was quite a lot to absorb. And all very well thought out and interesting posts. It started out as "legal download sites" and morphed into "on concert...
It was the Bull & Gate pub in Kentish Town. Meanwhile folks, the reason I brought this up was not to open a floodgate of requests for copies, but to point out...
Hi Rattlers, Here are the new confirmed dates for TWO. Beware, the concerts with Lol & Alex will now take place in October, not September. And Annie won't play...
Hi Aymeric Have you heard Robert Wyatt's latest recording? Thought you might like to draw everyone'sattention to it on the message board. It can be heard on...
... Any release, Canterbury or not, has a timing! This timing may be the decision of the artist, producer, label or depending of sociological, economic...
... There is a Bull & Gate pub opposite the Kentish Town fire station, next to the Kentish Town Forum, so I think Terry's talking about the right pub, just...
... My apologies, John, but I forgot the winking smiley ;-) . As it happens, I can remember where I sat in the room, a fairly long and narrow one (?) and...
... Wow.... Not only is it pure disco, but it's pure OLD style disco like what I lived through (barely) 30 years ago. Thanks (cough, cough) for passing that...
I have an idea!!! How about someone set up a web-based Canterbury torrent shop? This could become a massive library containing all the Canterbury recordings...
Greetings Rattlers. This is a (short) email thread to my UK friend who sends me radio broadcasts and tracks that are otherwise unavailable out here. I've...
... Amen to that - there's all sorts of Canterbury "concert" music out there I would love to hear! I would be very happy to pay for it and also for the artists...
This sounds like an outstanding idea. What better way, and who better than their most ardent fans, to come up with a method to reward and repay the artists we...
I can help remaster that music in my studio. (Neve, Quad, AES-EBU 20 bit etc.) Done quite a few already, as some of you know. I may have the correct domain...
Excellent idea. It's in the same line of something I wanted to propose a long time ago - Just that what I had in mind was a site to collect donations from fans...
Here's a model for you: Once the music comes out the PA speakers, it's up for grabs. If the artist can make a higher quality recording than you can, as a...
A few people have now commented that this is a good idea. But we will need a volunteer or volunteers to run this. It will be a labour of love and needs...
What a great idea, Nick! I really think this should be followed up and elaborated to more detail. If I can be of any help, please count me in. Is there anybody...
Scott, ... By your argument when a visual artist puts his painting up in a museum it's also up for grabs - people can photograph it with with high quality...
... Not to rain on the parade, but that's a non-trivial thing. Even figuring out who is owed what can be a laborious process. I suspect that people who run...
... However, you can take all of the pictures of a visual artist that you want to in the US, you just can't charge for them. Art galleries often have...
... I was only discussing the other day with a colleague why electronic books haven't come onto the market place: a small hand-held, book format display (like...
Hello One and All I've been following this discussion in Stealth mode for the last few days. All very interesting. I very much like the idea of setting up a...
Maybe I'm missing something here, but why don't bands/musicians put this sort of material (if necessary, through an agent) on websites of their own? I realise...
Hey David, Interesting post ! If the tapes are of reasonable quality might I suggest you contact the National Sound Archive about them ? There's a staff member...
On this topic, I was asking myself a question : What's worse for a musician ? Being bootlegged or not bootlegged ? A musician/band that is NOT bootlegged is,...
