World
Music Day is a free celebration of music around the world on
June 21st. Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la
Musique, it is a totally free celebration of music and
usually, musicians are encouraged to pour onto the streets, into
parks and anywhere you can think of to make music!
Whether you're a professional musician, avid amateur or just
a die-hard fan, Covid-19's effects on the music industry and
our ability to play, experience and enjoy music, in whatever genre,
has been profound. Whilst the additional time has provided an
opportunity to pick up that neglected instrument, or discover some
great artists, it is a shame that for World Music Day this year, we
can't celebrate how we usually would. With that, I thought I
would write about some interesting points of IP in the world of
music.
