The Great Escape and CMU bring together music educators, music development organisations and the music industry to discuss the best ways to nurture, support and educate young musicians, early-career music-makers and future music talent - on and off stage.
Tapping into the latest research work from CMU's Pathways Into Music Foundation, we'll look at how DIY Phase artists are going about building momentum and growing a fanbase in 2022, and how educators can inform that process and sign-post the tools and resources now available.
Plus we'll be navigating and mapping the wider music-maker community - and the world of music education and talent development.

Thursday 12 May 2022 - Jury's Inn Waterfront
The Great Escape and CMU put the spotlight on all the ways data now drives success in the music business.
The data that gets artists and songwriters paid. The data that will help #fixstreaming. The data that informs music discovery. The data that powers music marketing. The data that profiles fans and fanbases. The data that sits at the heart of ticketing. The data that is powering new direct-to-fan products and opportunities.
Who creates this data? Who controls this data? And how can artists, songwriters, labels, publishers, agents, promoters, venues, artist managers and music marketeers ensure that all the data is accurate, accessible and driving that success?
Rights + Track Data: The Journey 10.00am-11.15am

The Great Escape and CMU explores the intersection between music and video.
Where are TV producers, movie studios, gaming companies, brands, online creators and social influencers sourcing their music in 2022 - what are their options, what are their requirements and what do the deals look like?
Plus what about all the video content the music industry now creates every single day? What content works? Where do you publish and push the videos? How do you influence the influencers? And how much of that content is about marketing - and when should video be a revenue generator for artists, songwriters and the wider music industry?

In addition to the main CMU+TGE sessions, CMU and TGE also present a series of keynote in-conversations with the people who are setting the agenda, leading the debate and shaping the future of the music industry.
First up, we put the spotlight on the recent headline-grabbing court battle over Ed Sheeran's hit 'Shape Of You' by speaking to the team that advised him. Simon Goodbody from Bray & Krais, Rayan Fakhoury from Blackstone Chambers and music publishing consultant Jim Doyle will be in conversation with CMU's Chris Cooke, explaining the background to the case and the legal arguments that were presented in court.
With numerous similar lawsuits filed in the US courts in recent years, how effective is copyright law at dealing with disputes where one artist accuses another of infringing their work, and what measures can songwriters and their business partners take to protect themselves if they are on the receiving end of such a claim? The experts discuss!
Next up, MP and culture select committee member Kevin Brennan, and musician and #BrokenRecord founder Tom Gray, will also be in conversation with CMU's Chris Cooke.
Tom will discuss the process of building the #BrokenRecord campaign from the ground up, while Kevin will talk about the Parliamentary inquiry which put the economics of music streaming firmly into the public spotlight. They will also both offer insight into how artists and songwriters can build on the momentum of what has been achieved so far.
And finally we'll be in conversation with music PR legend Barbara Charone, who will be talking through the highlights and key moments of her career in the music industry ahead of the publication of her memoir 'Access All Areas: A Backstage Pass Through 50 Years Of Music And Culture'.
Barbara spent the first half of her career as a music journalist working for NME, Sounds, Rolling Stone, Crawdaddy and Cream before writing the authorised biography 'Keith Richards: Life As A Rolling Stone' in 1979. She then moved into PR, working closely with artists including Madonna, Mark Ronson, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Depeche Mode, Texas, Rag'n'Bone Man, St Vincent, Pearl Jam, Olly Murs, Ray Davies and Rufus Wainwright.
