There’s also a data sharing clause you can copy and paste to send promoters/ venues, examples of subscriber perks, and a sample newsletter sign-up sheet in case you’re not sure what language to use.

James Blake is 100% right, companies like Ticketmaster SHOULD share email addresses with artists. BUT, most artists and companies aren’t James Blake, and a lot of smaller venues/ promoters WILL do this if you ask them to in advance.

When I worked in the funded arts sector I found out it’s standard practice for venues to share this data with dance and theatre companies ✨ BUT they don’t always think to set it up correctly in advance.

I’m agnostic, but lately I read the news and pray, so I don’t cry. It doesn’t always work.

For years I thought my music archive from the blog era was lost to me. 10 years of unreleased gold, unmixed sketches, rare remixes, live sessions, bootlegs, never made it to streaming gems. Most valuable thing I ever had. I got it back today. Sobbing. Thank you for the music.
