It was hosted by the 108 Livery Companies of the City of London—around 700 guests and representatives of charities and the armed forces dined with members of the Royal Family. The Livery Companies originated in medieval times as Guilds responsible for trade regulation—today the Companies use their funds to undertake charitable and community work.

The 80s pop stars - fronted by STony Hadley - are set to hit the road in support of their new LP which they are cur- rently recording, their full album for 25 years. Gary Kemp told The Sun: “Everything is back on track. We want to go back on tour. We didn’t patch things up for money but because we had a deep history with each other.” The band - which includes brothers Gary and Martin Kemp, Steve Norman, Tony Hadley and John Keeble - reunited in 2009 after a bitter split for a run of shows and could make £20 million collectively from their proposed 2015 tour. The five band members - who between them produced hits like ‘Gold’ and ‘True’ - split up in 1990 and had not spoken for 20 years after disagreements over royalties. The band have been busy releasing a movie about their musical life titled ‘Soul Boys of The Western World’ which will be available in October. Janet Jackson to release new album this year? anet Jackson is expected to release a new album later this year. The ‘All For JYou’ singer has reportedly been working on an upcoming project and it is said she will pay tribute to her late brother Michael, with plans to cover one of his tracks for the record. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “The label are really pushing Janet and have made her a priority act for the year, which means a big budget.”It’s the first album she’s released since Michael died in 2009 so she felt it was fitting to include a nod to him.

  • Copyrights and Performers' Rights in Music
    Reflections on The Triumph of Music: Copyrights and Performers’ Rights in Music Oxford Intellectual Property Invited Speaker Seminar on 20 October 2009 (Mr Justice) Richard Arnold Introduction In his recent book The Triumph of Music: Composers, Musicians and Their Audiences, 1700 to the Present1 Tim Blanning traces the unstoppable rise of music in Western, and now global, culture. One paragraph in particular caught my eye:2 “The first jazz musician to demonstrate the importance of recording was Louis Armstrong, whose Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings of 1925-29 included many undeniable masterpieces that still sound as fresh as the day they were played. Without those recordings, the superlative, peerless cornet playing on ‘West End Blues’ or ‘Potato Head Blues’ (the only two contenders for the title of ‘the greatest jazz record ever made’, in the view of Eric Hobsbawm) would have been lost forever. Ironically, the value of these recordings is underlined by Peter Ecklund’s transcription of Armstrong’s solo on the latter track. A competent trumpeter might well play the notes, yet still utterly fail to reproduce the original sound. This was the verdict of Humphrey Lyttelton, who wrote in his autobiography: ‘A transcription of a trumpet solo by Louis Armstrong, however detailed, cannot convey any idea of the actual performance on record. And no orchestral trumpeter, reading it off, could bring it to life, because so much of its quality lies in the originator’s personal tone and sense of timing.’ Indeed, as anyone who has listened to even a small amount of Armstrong’s playing will confirm, the tone he produced was so original that hearing only a bar or so reveals his identity.
