BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

Hello, hope you're enjoying your bank holiday weekend.

Now, as we've started off doing on this podcast,

we're going to give you something that feels a bit we can do.

And it's a really interesting discussion about the music industry.

It's kind of like a chat between some industry insiders at an after party for an award ceremony that's so cool you didn't even know it existed.

And it's about how musicians are feeling, what they're doing, the people that run

venues, the people that run record labels and how they're handling all of this.

And it's not just a cultural kind of show-busy thing, this is a business too.

The music industry contributed 5.2 billion pounds to the UK economy last year and a hundred and ninety thousand people

worked in it and even just live music so like going to see a gig that's worth

1.1 billion pounds a year. So it's a huge part of the economy and of course

music is just a part of your life, whoever you are. It's a really interesting

conversation. Have a listen. Welcome to this episode of the

coronavirus newscast. The coronavirus newscost from the BBC. What is this virus? How does it spread?

How do we protect ourselves and our loved ones? I got some test results back for coronavirus and it came back positive.

We're just kind of trying to feel our way into this new normal. I must level with you, level with the British public.

More families, many more families, are going to lose loved ones before their time.

Relax, they're doing great.

It all will pass.

Hello, it's Adam in the studio and I'm joined by some super interesting people from across

the music industry.
