Pubs, clubs and live music venues in England will get a 20 percent cut in business rates from next April, as confirmed by Andy Burnham. This is the new Prime Minister's third policy, after he announced most bus fares in England will be capped at £2 from January and VAT will be cut from household electricity bills in October. UK correspondent Enda Brady says this sector has been hit hard amid the ongoing cost of living crisis. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this interview, Mark Davyd, founder and CEO of Music Venue Trust, mentions the "famous" and famously misattributed Hunter S. Thompson quote about the music industry. It goes "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."It's now common knowledge that Thompson didn't actually say this, or at the very least if he did it wasn't about the music industry. Mark acknowledges as much in this interview. And yet, it remains a perfect summation of the music industry at large even today, and in this interview Mark expounds upon that at length.In April 2026 he unleashed a series of 4 Substack posts which shone a light on the dodgy dealings of the UK's performing rights body PRS for Music. In them, he details how each year millions of pounds earmarked for artists who perform in grassroots music venues is "held" by PRS because they are unable to attribute it to anyone — ostensibly because many of the artists who are due it have never signed up to PRS, and thus the money goes unclaimed. After 3 years, this money is then distributed to the largest music publishers and most successful songwriters in the world.The true figure is difficult to ascertain due to the opaque nature of PRS' reporting, but it is estimated to be around £18m — more than the combined profit generated by all 800+ grassroots music venues in the UK each year. What's happening is, in effect, a reverse Robin Hood scenario where huge amounts of money are being transferred to the most high-profile, wealthiest musicians and publishers.In this episode we dive deep into those 4 articles with Mark, getting to the heart of all that is rotten with the current PRS model, the organisation's response, and some suggestions for how it might be fixed.You can read Mark's articles here: Part 1: https://markdavyd.substack.com/p/prs-for-music-and-the-grassroots Part 2: https://markdavyd.substack.com/p/prs-for-music-and-the-grassroots-5a0 Part 3: https://markdavyd.substack.com/p/prs-for-music-and-the-grassroots-618 Part 4: https://markdavyd.substack.com/p/prs-for-music-and-the-grassroots-3d9 Highlights:00:00 Grassroots Cash Grab00:24 Meet the Hosts01:46 What Music Venues Trust Does03:30 COVID Crisis Response07:23 Venue People Helping Venues09:16 Why PRS Matters Here12:45 How PRS Works16:02 Unclaimed Royalties Problem21:35 Archaic Setlist System23:22 Tariff LP vs Tariff P27:35 Real World Money Example30:40 Show Me the Money32:00 Unclaimed Royalties Black Box32:58 Venue Economics And Losses34:00 Rules Court Case And Publishers35:53 Broken Reform Promises39:20 Why PRS Won't Change42:00 Estimated Bills And CCJs44:44 Scale Of Grassroots Impact48:18 Audio Recognition Solution55:08 PRS Rebuttals And Backlash59:16 Wrap Up And Where To Read

Tell your smart speaker to "Play One Oh Three One Austin"
Whether you're a fan of classical, experimental, indie rock, jazz, or even Cuban-inspired grooves, Iceland's capital offers a surprising variety of venues catering to every musical taste. Today, I'm taking you on a virtual tour of some of the most beloved — and sometimes overlooked — places to catch a live performance in and around Reykjavík.So, let's crank up the volume and dive in! 1. Harpa Concert Hall - Iceland's Premier Music Venue Let's start with the crown jewel of Reykjavík's music venues: Harpa. This stunning glass building by the harbor is not just an architectural icon — it's a world-class concert hall. Harpa is home to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and Icelandic Opera, so it's your go-to for classical music, opera, and large-scale productions.But don't be fooled — Harpa also hosts jazz nights, electronic music events, and international artists across genres. The acoustics here are unmatched, and the setting? Simply magical. 2. Gamla Bíó A short walk from Harpa is Gamla Bíó, or “The Old Cinema.” This historic venue has been transformed into a cozy concert hall with vintage charm. Expect indie rock, folk, pop, and the occasional orchestral ensemble. It's an intimate setting with incredible sound, perfect for catching Icelandic artists and touring international acts in a space that feels like a hidden gem. 3. Hús Mál og Menningar Now, let's talk about one of my personal favorites: Hús Mál og Menningar, right on Laugavegur, Reykjavík's main shopping street. This bookstore-slash-bar is a cultural hub, and the upstairs stage is often alive with acoustic sets, singer-songwriter sessions, jazz, and even spoken word. The vibe here is chill, creative, and unmistakably Icelandic — it's where you can sip a drink, browse books, and hear something totally unexpected, all in one evening. 4. Mengi If you're into avant-garde, experimental, or contemporary classical music, Mengi is the place. Located in a small venue on Óðinsgata, this artist-run space regularly features performances by composers, interdisciplinary artists, and improvisational musicians. It's intimate, forward-thinking, and always pushing the boundaries of what live music can be. 5.
