Posted by | March 8, 2011 | 6,684 views

Jakomi Mathews chats to Martin Mills, Chairman of Beggars Group, who talks about his label’s existence through the decades, how the world has changed and altered the music industry, and how independent labels have grown under the recession while the bigger players have made great loses. He also dicusses the day-to-day struggles of an independent label, music piracy and free music, and how trying to be liberal in a mass-marketed world can be tough. The growth in digital media and technology, in particular Spotify’s success in counteracting file-sharing, are also drawn upon.
