New edition of Music Business UK out now – subscribe today!

December 11, 2018

The world’s best music industry magazine is back.

The Q4 2018 edition of Music Business UK is today (December 11) starting to land with physical subscribers.

As ever, the 140-plus page title is packed with great reads, gorgeous portrait photography and beautiful layouts.

Due to the premium quality of the book, our print run is large but limited.

In fact, with over 1,250 people now receiving the magazine each quarter, we only have a few hundred copies of this issue remaining – and we expect them to sell out.

To get your hands on one, subscribe through here.

The current issue includes in-depth coverage of/with:

Modest!’s Richard Griffiths, Harry Magee and Will Bloomfield on their hugely successful management company’s 15 years in business;
Ed Sheeran manager Stuart Camp on the songs and artists that changed his life;
BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch on 10 years in the hotseat at the company, which now generates over $500m a year;

140dB founder Ros Earls on her career and everything she’s learned in life and business to date;
Ministry Of Sound MD Dipesh Parmar on his rise from tour DJ to A&R supremo to label head, plus MoS General Manager Amy Wheatley on the Sony-owned company’s current direction;
Decca A&R VP Tom Lewis on why the Universal company believes it can be “the most interesting label in the world”;
