Can v4v scale for big artists?
Say all the top artists moved to Wavlake do you think the smaller unknown artists would lose like on Spotify?

Have you tried to onboard other musicians to nostr? What's their reaction like usually?
reply
100 sats \ 0 replies \ @JoeMartinMusic21 OP 22 Apr
I was having a conversation with an artist friend the other day about how bad traditional social media is getting. When I raised the possiblity that nostr could be a better solution. They didn't seem interested. There's a herd mentality with things like social media, and artists are always reluctant to try somthing 'out there' and new. I will keep pushing though

No, I visit as much as budget will permit, but I've recently moved to Isle of Man (last week). So feels like a new start / adventure!

No, but I would love to play and visit some day. I hear good things about the scene in Canada. Believe they like their country music too?

I see someone already asked your favorite V4V artists, which would have been my first question! Some of my favorites are on that list.
So I'll ask this instead: Who are your favorite artists that haven't done V4V yet?

I'm not hopeful, things are getting bad quickly. I see it touring around the country every year and it's getting worse very quickly. Even well off, nice towns, are becoming run down at a very fast pace. That was a big reason I wanted to move for a while, see how things play out. Hope they can turn things around but there needs to be a big shake up

Rock on! How is bitcoin impacting the music 🎶 industry in the short and long term?
reply
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @JoeMartinMusic21 OP 22 Apr
Short term, I think it lets artists find a new audience who have shared values and ideas. Long term, it offers a model to break away from labels / social platforms that want to commoditize the art and lets artist create on their own terms, and build a sustainable career

If you had to give up one - singing, songwriting, or guitar - which would you give up?
reply
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @JoeMartinMusic21 OP 22 Apr
I think if I had to choose between writing songs and performing. I would give up performing and just write songs (if other people would sing them)

So the gig will feature myself, Longy and Nathan Abbott. As far as I know, it will be the first ever value for value show in the UK. We're hoping to attract some no-coiner general music fans and get some sats into their hands so they can participate in the zapping of the show. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Feels like being a part of history!
