This summer - that would be 2021 - saw a British parliament ran enquiry into the economics of music streaming. It's unlikely you missed the results. For one thing, your favourite musicians were raging. The results were sobering, depressing, terrifying if you’re a professional musician, especially now that COVID has decimated the touring industry… and at the time of writing, have seen no legislation with a review to reform. Tom Gray is a man who wants change. You might know the multi-instrumentalist for his work with Mercury Prize winning, consistently interesting Southport indie rock types Gomez, though Tom has fingers in pies all over the music industry; the Ivors, PRS, the Musicians Union. His campaign for music industry reform, #BrokenRecord, is rapidly gathering support and securing big wins. I thought it was about time to check in with him, and find out where we’re at with it all – we being people who love music, who know that without a fair deal for musicians, there will be no music. And, what change Tom would still like to see. Which is a lot. The James McMahon Music Podcast is a Spoook Media production.
