What do we do now.

Hi everyone,

We’ve now moved from the awareness stage into the action phase. 

Setting up the petition and keeping it in people’s minds was straightforward enough — but now I’m being sent a huge amount of useful information, tips, and advice from people in the media who clearly know what they’re talking about.

And I’ll be honest: I’m concerned about using all of this to its best effect. We’ve reached the point where maybe we need a small steering group of people who understand what happens next.

My ideal mix would be:

• Someone media-savvy
• Someone with a strong grasp of the music industry
• Someone with policy or government experience
• And someone who can represent the public voice

And someone task driven to pull all this together. (100% not me)

Given we’re all scattered across the country, a Zoom meeting (or similar) would make this easy.

I’m conscious that the window of opportunity is closing — and that stalling tactics may start appearing — so it would be good to move quickly.

I’d really welcome your thoughts. I am in unchartered waters here.
