Welcome to the Birmingham Music Network Newsletter

Birmingham Music Network is a Music Networking organisation, leading the way by working with the local music community to stimulate growth, inspire, and share knowledge. We offer practical based industry experience and are not genre specific.

We would like to welcome you to our brand new Newsletter on Substack.

Birmingham Music Network is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

The Music Network is a voluntary, not for profit, social enterprise organisation seeking charitable status. “we”, “our” and “us” means The Music Network. We are working for the benefit of the wider music community and encourage others to do the same.

Since 2000, The Music Network has pulled together a community of independent music organisations, based in the West Midlands. We offer access to some of the most innovative and exciting new contemporary music being produced today.

Musicians are finding it hard to survive. Brexit has been a hammer blow, Coronavirus has been a hammer blow, and now everyone is trying to tour and release music all at the same time. Audiences are overwhelmed with new music and concerts to go to. It’s hard for people to know what to choose with limited financial resources. Ticket sales are down, merch sales are down, every band with the ability to do so is out touring and asking for support. There’s little or no significant money coming in from downloads or streaming platforms.  But it's not all bleak....there are lots of things to do.

Joining the mailing list and buying physical merch from Artists direct can really help. If you are struggling for money yourself, you can help in other ways by leaving a comment, sharing an Artist’s latest work, or messaging them to tell them you are still there.

Birmingham Music Network seeks to encourage a positive attitude and a desire to find a way through all this.

"Pessimists sit around telling each other how hopeless everything is. It's the optimists who get things done."- Robert Anton Wilson.

Stay up-to-date, stay positive, and keep going. Subscribers get full access to the news and all things Birmingham Music Network. You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
