Περίληψη: | The creative industries, and particularly our UK Music industry, are perceived
as healthy, resilient and strong. However, with the ongoing policy
changes in secondary and higher education, as well as the continued cuts
to council budgets and the ongoing lack of commitment to wealth distribution
and even investment in the whole nation, this golden era of the creative
industries in the UK may not last. In my latest articles, I explore critical
themes relevant for the UK Music industry and the UK creative sector as
a whole. Current national policy expressions often omit to address these
themes, which are necessary to safeguard our future creative resilience. In
writing this article, much relevance will be drawn from making connections
to recent public debates on what universities are for and what their
role is within the creative economy. Attention is given to considering current
governmental industry strategies critically and their relevance for the
music industry, together with their sector responses.
