In
the entertainment business of the 21st century, artists must be aware of the legalities
and of the music industry. Gone are the days of dodgy managers and rip-off record
companies that leave the artist penniless.
Today's
entertainment world revolves around business and finance rather than the old fashioned
'Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll'. So, to be aware of what managers, record companies
and publishers expect of you, you must have a fair idea of what you really want
to achieve from whatever opportunities arise.
Useful
information from the musician's union.
This section of the site is dedicated to providing useful information that will
give you a guide to what you should request when signing any contract (These are
recommended by the musician's union). You may feel that you want something different
from a contract; Whatever you want, always get the best independant legal advice,
however much its costs now, as it won't be as much as the court case in years
to come.
Get
professional advice so you don't get conned. See www.musiciansunion.org.uk/
