THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ON TRIAL in association with British Underground

Guilty! We’re putting the music industry on trial and YOU will be the jury. Is there more value in music being free? Should there be stricter employment laws in place with only 8% of the music industry workforce from a non-white background? With this and a whole lot more to be addresses, you, the jury, will decide the fate of the game and those who play it in our mock courtroom set-up.

Arming you with the knowledge you need to explore new areas of the music business, these bite-sized portions of expertise are yours to take away and season.
