We love music, of course we do. More Australians caught a gig in 2018 then attended a major sporting event. It is a vital, billion dollar industry - but it's getting harder for the people who actually make the music to make a living.

 Only 16% of musicians earn more than $50 thousand dollars a year. Musicians are being squeezed out of venues by noise complaints. They’re having to market themselves, prove themselves, build a profile and hustle.

 Presenters Marc Fennell and Jan Fran speak to two industry heavyweights who are trying to make change.

 Singer-songwriter Clare Bowditch created Big Hearted Business to help musicians develop skills to manage and market themselves.

 Helen Marcou, the co-owner of Melbourne institution Bakehouse Studios took on a new role as activist when the city’s live music scene was threatened by noise complaints.

 The Few Who Do with CGU Insurance. Two hosts, one problem, two possibilities.

Featured Guests:

Clare Bowditch, singer/ songwriter

Helen Marcou, co-founder Bakehouse Studios
