Ep 5: Laneway Talks with Vince & Rob

Vincent Donato and Robert Boundy discussed the relevance of royalty and music in modern times, with Donato questioning the newsworthiness of royalty and the high costs associated with changing from a Commonwealth to a Republic. Boundy highlighted the popularity of old bands like Supertramp despite being from an older era. They also discussed the current state of the global music industry, including trends in consumption and profitability, and the challenges facing the Australian music industry. Finally, they touched on the future of live music and the importance of self-education and practice for musicians, as well as the potential of virtual concerts and the reliability of statistics in the industry. Vincent and Rob decided to chat away one day about the music business in their territory and from that discussion came the idea to create a podcast about our knowledge base. Vincent from the business side of things and Rob from the education side. Vincent has a 35 year history in entertainment, and Rob has a Phd in Music at the University of Adelaide. Those backgrounds will bring about some real differences in what they interpret the music business is and how it operates. Join the guys for an hour of insights into the business.
