Very useful to have these short clips from the House of Lords debate around art and culture, including this one from Lord Cashman - thanks Campaign for the Arts for covering this important topic so well!
“We must keep our theatres, music venues and libraries open. They are not luxuries.” Michael Cashman said that the arts have a transformational impact on people's lives, and "speak of the kind of civilised, open country that we are – or we could become".
Founder, Patn branding agency. We structure, design and grow influential brands for placemakers.
We're working with a brilliant, award-winning music festival in Bristol. Music, as it should, takes centre stage. However, what I love about the design process is when the realisation happens. The realisation that the brand that we have designed with them, captures the spirit of who they are. It’s music to my ears. #branding #festivalbranding #designprocess
The link between creative industries and historic buildings is often talked about but the reality is inspiration and innovation need context and catalyst. In performative arts how you, the audience, experiences it is key to how you appreciate it. Being able to be that close to ‘the next big thing’ in an atmosphere designed to inspire you to engage was a critical part of a band’s evolution, let alone the repetition of curating your art through repetitive practice (as discussed by Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers in respect of the Beatles in Hamburg). It would be interesting to map how many of those 23 were in historic buildings.
The sobering reality that only 11 of the 34 grassroots music venues that Oasis played on their first tour still exist today. Gone are 23 spaces that took a punt on a new band from Manchester who would become one of the most iconic in British music history. That's 23 communities that aren't getting the chance to hear the chords of the next 'Definitely Maybe' for the first time. Let’s protect the sacred live music spaces we have in the UK, ensuring that both fans and the next generation of superstars have the same opportunities Oasis had.
Even in #middleage, I still love a good festival. A time to catch up with friends, discover new artists, and connect with different cultures. Plus, there's nothing like a little boogie with people you don't know to let loose. 💃 So, it's disheartening to see so many music festivals in #Australia collapsing! The aftermath of the #pandemic, soaring ticket prices, #environmental challenges, and a shift in younger #generations thoughts around multi-day events have led to a wave of major festivals cancelling across the country. Where does this leave the future of live music in Australia? What changes can we expect or need? Well Kara Ortiga with the help of Samuel Whiting from the University of South Australia and Simone Schinkel CEO at Music Victoria discussed some of this and more in our latest report. How can they continue to build on the shared interest of audiences, but also accommodate more niche tastes. How might they offer more flexibility with payment options, helping with #financialplanning and more than ever, how can they speak to the needs of #anxiousyouths I really do hope they can find the solutions, because some of my best memories involve a field, limited hygiene practices and being surrounded by friends, both old and very very new.

Music and singing is so therapeutic.
As the So Many Beauties dementia-friendly music festival gets underway at The Bridgewater Hall this morning, our musician Jenny sang a beautiful excerpt of Madame Butterfly live on BBC Breakfast. The music holds a special place in Anne's heart, who had included it in her Playlist for Life 💚🎶 #JoyThroughLiveMusic #MusicforDementia #SoManyBeautiesMusic

The arts can range from plays and galleries to music concerts and festivals. They all add a special touch of class to any occasion. Each requires adherence to specific behavior norms and expectations. At-home entertaining offers a unique cultural experience, reflecting the host's interests and lifestyle. It's often regarded as a high honor, particularly for international guests. Whether showcasing extravagant art collections or embracing a more relaxed ambiance, hosts and guests alike should adhere to guidelines for a pleasant experience. Tip: Before planning a cultural event for your guests you've never attended or experienced yourself, consider the potential for unexpected challenges. It's advisable to have firsthand experience with the culture or event beforehand to ensure smoother planning and execution.
