A new organisation, the Featured Artists’ Coalition was launched yesterday (Sunday 5 October 2008) at the music industry’s In The City in Manchester to campaign for the protection of performers’ and musicians’ rights. Formed by some of the best-known names in music — Billy Bragg, Craig David, Iron Maiden, Radiohead, Robbie Williams, Wet Wet Wet to name a few — the Coalition will give artists the voice they need to argue for greater control over their music.
The campaign is all about artists remaining in control of their creative works, rather than giving it away for (almost) nothing to producers, labels and other middle men.
