Summary

Music makes life worth living for some of us, and live shows are the only way many artists make a living. As Corona puts the music industry in an induced coma, TOM GRAY of Gomez talks to Dorian Lynskey about the monumental challenges that music faces. Will we see the return of concerts in 2020? Will we even want to get together in large numbers? If streaming your favourite band all night is not the answer, what is? And should we nationalise Ed Sheeran? “There are people who are not going to be able to survive this. Their income is going to be annihilated.” “Recorded music went away in the Noughties. Touring was the lifeblood, and now it’s gone.” “There will people in the couple of months who’ll be wondering what they’re going to do with the rest of their lives.” Presented by Dorian Lynskey. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production.
