10 Music Week 15.03.13 www.musicweek.com THE BIG INTERVIEW PJ BLOOM SYNC ABOUT IT As music supervisor for some of the biggest US TV hits like Glee and CSI , PJ Bloom is a gatekeeper to sought after promotional opportunities for new and established music alike SYNC I BY TOM PAKINKIS here was a time when music discovery happened at the back of a record store or T round a mate’s house at the weekend, but today music fans have the power to identify, share and even buy new tracks wherever they are with the push of a button. Since the dawn of Google, the artist and title of a tantalising track forming the backdrop of TV finale has been just a simple search away. With the arrival of tagging technology like Shazam, the impact of social media and the omnipresence of the smart device – the couch potato has never been more empowered as a music consumer – or more desirable. At the end of last month, one of the entertainment industry’s most successful and sought after music supervisors PJ Bloom spoke in front of a packed room at AIM’s Sync Licensing to TV, Film, Adverts and Games event. Having worked on hit shows such as CSI: Miami, Nip/Tuck, Glee and currently American Horror Story, Bloom told indie execs how to get to the gatekeepers of sync and what they should expect to get out the process. “I think it is more of a promotional opportunity in 2013,” he told the indie crowd, with the perfect case study to hand: Bloom was behind the placement of Fun’s We Are Youngon Glee in December 2011, which demonstrates just how powerful sync can be as a form of exposure. An exception for Glee - which ABOVE usually covers already hugely successful songs and PJ tips: instantaneously is something that is very exciting. acts - Fun were relative unknowns at the time, with One of “If you expect to get one of those It’s something that I like to focus on.

12 Music Week 15.03.13 www.musicweek.com BUSINESS ANALYSISENTERTAINMENT RETAIL IN 2012 EDITORIAL MUSIC RIDES Believe it or not, music sales are holding up better THE STORM than other sectors Music’s tough year at retail in 2012 is put into context by even steeper year-on-year sales falls for games and DVDs Lest we forget, there was a bit too much gloating coming from other sectors a few years back as music sales collapsed under the weight of the digital revolution. Fast forward to the present, though, and things could not be more different. While it hardly warrants cracking open the Champagne – and in these austere terms if you do it’s probably best to stick to the cheaper brands from Aldi – this industry has gone in relative terms from being the supposed basket case of entertainment retailing to its star performer. That claim may seem very unlikely right now, especially in light of what has been happening with HMV and with retail sales dropping another 5.5% in value in 2012, but when set alongside how the video and games industries are doing music looks decidedly buoyant.

“The evidence of 2012’s UK retail figures suggests music is leading the way with digital last year making up 38% of all music retail revenues.” At the very least retail numbers for last year collated by ERA and analysed opposite make one thing abundantly clear. Rather than the music industry having made a total mess of digital’s rise, it has so far proved to be a lot better at reacting to the changing environment than other related sectors. As the first one that had to deal with the switch from physical to digital, the music business was always going to get arrows in its back as pioneers inevitably do. But the evidence of 2012’s UK retail figures suggests it is also leading the way in adapting with digital last year making up 38.0% of all music retail revenues.

www.musicweek.com 15.03.13 Music Week 15 FEATURE THE LEADMILL PAINTING THE TOWN LEAD Sheffield’s The Leadmill is a 33-year-old live music institution. But how has it gained the demanding respect of today’s top agents and promoters - and what does the future hold?

are so many options down there. But in terms of the industry, there are people I talk to on a weekly basis who ask about what’s going on. The local promoters, whether it’s here or The Cockpit [Leeds], Wedgewood Rooms [Hampshire] or Waterfront are almost like a knowledge base.

The music industry is going through a turbulent time, how has business been for you over the years? 2008-2009 was really tough but from 2010 it’s been getting stronger, we’ve never been so strong and we’re getting more and more gigs, better gigs. We’re doing more and more gigs around Sheffield as well, outside of the Leadmill. I’d almost call it buoyant. We’ve even turned down one or two shows because we are that busy, it’s brilliant. There are a lot of bands coming up for whatever reason. Recessions are always a good time for bands, that’s a well- established fact and they know they will almost certainly get an audience at The Leadmill. I’ll say it again, trust. It will happen here, come rain or shine.

What’s the biggest challenge for you in 2013? I think, without being too flippant, to stay ahead of the game. The pressure lies in unearthing new talent because there is competition. The SJMs of this world can do gigs elsewhere and agents can do gigs elsewhere. We have to be talking to the agents and the managers before anybody else. Our slogan on our staff T-shirts is ‘Music Lives Here’ and everyone is massively passionate not only about music but about these four walls of bricks and mortar.

18 Music Week 15.03.13 www.musicweek.com FEATURE COUNTRY MUSIC ANOTHER COUNTRY After years looking inward, country music is spreading its wings internationally once more with a star-studded London festival this weekend in a bid to build on growing success GENRE I BY PAUL WILLIAMS

ithout a UK hit of any kind to their W name, US country superstars Sugarland were understandably apprehensive a few years back when they played their first ever British date. They need not have worried. “We played Shepherds Bush Empire and we didn’t have a song on the radio,” recalls the duo’s Kristian Bush. “A promoter had taken a chance on us and we walked into a sold-out show, which was amazing for us and everybody sang every word.” It confirmed to Bush the marketing power of the internet to spread word outside the States about them at a time when – Sugarland and a few others apart – country music acts had completely taken their eye off trying to break internationally. Since the appointment of Steve Moore as Country Music Association CEO three years ago that has started to change with the executive determined to revive the genre’s standing in markets outside the US, including the UK. A key part of that will be C2C: Country to Country, a two-day music festival at in North Greenwich this weekend with a line-up of genuine country superstars including Bush and headlined by Tim McGraw (pictured left) and . However, the evidence of Bush when he first played the UK with his Sugarland colleague Jennifer Nettles back in 2009 suggests that, despite the lack of promotional visits by country acts in recent years, there is a ready audience waiting for them. “The internet has changed all that,” says Nashville songwriter Brett James who has written for a host of country superstars including Underwood, Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts as well as with UK acts such as Leone Lewis. “It doesn’t matter whether they are next door or across the pond or around the world, it’s just as easy to get access to the music. We’ve just played a couple of shows in Ireland and Northern Ireland and I expected to come over and explain, ‘You might not have heard of this and this was a hit in the US’ and it’s not that at all. You say the first line of a song and they clap and they’re the second line.” While all that is encouraging, the CMA’s Moore realises it will take efforts such as C2C, which is being staged on Saturday and Sunday, to reach out both to existing country music fans in the UK and those who could be won over if only they heard the music. “It’s the first time CMA has officially sanctioned an event and we had to do it here,” says Moore. “It’s part of what we’re trying to do to invigorate and get guys like Kristian to come and Carrie and others.” Ahead of the festival itself, the CMA hosted a summit for international media in Disneyland Paris at the beginning of March, including briefings 18-19 C2C_v3_News and Playlists 11/03/13 10:58 Page 2

he notes. “‘Hi, I’m a singer. I’m interested in some of the old songs.’ ‘All right, sing a song.’ I’ll be tested. The minute they hear me sing they let me in.” Lee certainly sees parallels with what is he doing with that of a young Pete Seeger who, while working at the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress in Washington in the Thirties and Forties, was given the task of assisting renowned field collector of Alan Lomax to find examples of recordings that best represented American material of the genre. And, just as with Seeger, without Lee many of these tunes could be lost forever. “The younger generation are not learning the old songs as it was for generations; they see me as sometimes a bit of a saviour,” says Lee, who since beginning his journey has formed an organisation called the Song Collectors Collective to train other enthusiasts to do the same. It was as he went around the country for the first time that the idea of recording them dawned on him, ultimately leading to his Mercury- nominated album. “When I heard the songs for the first time I thought ‘I need to learn them,’” he says. “Having CDs of these field recordings - what do you do with them? You can’t just put them on a shelf.” The album has not only raised his UK profile, but has attracted an audience for him in the likes of Australia, continental Europe, North America and Japan. “My international work has just exploded. I’ve now got an album release in the States and tours set up next year. [The LP] will come out at the beginning of next year in North America. “I’ve got the Japan release starting in June.

It was a role that involved far more than he had bargained for – in addition to artistic duties, he effectively became their guidance counsellor and made every effort to send them all to bed early each night so they would not end up being snapped by the paparazzi drunkenly falling out of a night club. Quite some job but, for the co-writer of Say You’ll Be There and Take That’s Everything Changes, that stint in the X Factor house sowed the seeds of an idea that will come to fruition this spring when he rolls out a brand new academy for up-and-coming music artists at his long-time base of Steelworks Studios in his home city of Sheffield.
