DeeHOST
The independent songwriters are literally subsidizing the top of the charts.
DeeHOST
And that fundamental flaw is exactly what triggered the October 2026 British experiment launched by the Music Venue Trust and a music recognition tech company called Audu.
DanHOST
Right, the MVT and Audu pilot.
DanHOST
And according to makingascene.org, the goal wasn't just to prove that AI can listen to a song and name it.
Woody CookGUEST
But that was mental because basically we'd just done this charity walk from Dover to Glastonbury in for five charities.
Woody CookGUEST
So Oxfam, Greenpeace, WaterAid, the Wildlife Trust and the Music Venues Trust.
Woody CookGUEST
And yeah, we raised 15 grand for charity walking there.
Woody CookGUEST
And the amazing end of it was that we get we got to open effectively a new stage, which was, uh, the new Shangri-La crew bar.
57 MINS LATER
Woody CookGUEST
And yeah, basically...
Woody CookGUEST
You know, we used the sort of the Glastonbury charities of, you know, Greenpeace and Oxfam and WaterAid.
Woody CookGUEST
And then we added the Wildlife Trust and we added, obviously, the Music Venues Trust, which I was talking about, because it was about, yeah, England, about protecting the environment.
Woody CookGUEST
But then across to the music scene, you know, the Music Venues Trust is amazing.
Joe SparrowHOST
Stu, what is show notes and is it any different?
Stuart DredgeHOST
Yeah, it sounds like a Spotify feature, doesn't it? It's a partnership between Drowned in Sound, so a very well-established music reviews and interviews website, and the Music Venue Trust in the UK, the charity that helps protect and support grassroots venues.
Stuart DredgeHOST
So they're doing a 64-page magazine together.
Stuart DredgeHOST
So the Music Venue Trust is funding it with a grant, and it's going to distribute 50,000 free copies across, I think it's more than 500 venues across the UK.
Stuart DredgeHOST
So as a music fan, you better get it when you go into venues to see...
Stuart DredgeHOST
It's going to focus on live gig culture as well.
Mike SmithGUEST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mike SmithGUEST
I mean, the Music Venue Trust have obviously been, yeah, I mean, they've been doing an amazing job.
Mike SmithGUEST
And I think that in terms of what they've done in terms of raising people's awareness of how difficult it is for small music venues to survive.
Mike SmithGUEST
But the great thing is, is that, I think people are getting the message out that, you know, the bigger bands that are making a lot of money and the bigger venues that are making a lot of money should be giving back to the smaller ones because without places like Future Yard, you're not going to be able to get the next bands to come through.
speaker_2HOST
It's all about celebrating live music.
speaker_2HOST
They're collaborating with the Music Venue Trust and reaching out to grassroots venues.
speaker_3HOST
Ah, that makes sense.
speaker_3HOST
Those smaller venues really need more attention.
