Lost in the Jungle!!

Hi family!

After ages lost in the jungle, and six months of hard work now on my shoulders, I have to admitt that I'm starting to understand why on earth Birmingham is such a boring place most of the time. It's not because the city doesn't have possibilities, much the opposite, it's more that some narrow-minded anti-money anti-marketing individuals in charge of the last four venues that still stand on their foot are just playing their roles. For the sake of the truth I have to say that they don't even know how to manage an e-mail account!!

And in the benefit of the truth I have to say as well that this doesn't happen in Birmingham alone. Sadly you can find it everywhere in the country.

The music business in the United Kingdom is among the most important industries, generating revenues second to none. That's why I think I revolution is needed. A drastic change in mentalities that, as some venues have already proven, can be much more beneficial not only for the industry, but for the pockets of venue owners, artists and promoters. It seems that some parts of the industry are evolving at the speed of light, while others stay stuck in old convinctions (if any convinction at all).

A revolution similar to that one, when parties had to be promoted in wharehouses. Those young promoters and ravers are now in charge of the venues, but they don't look like remembering anything from those years.

The history is repeating again: it happened to the hippies, to the punks, and everybody fighting the system... and then getting the most out of it.

Long live music!
