This doesn’t have much to do with our core business, except it’s lovely and also living proof that the internet and digital media aren’t killing music, they’re allowing artists to share their work more widely and forge closer relationships with their audiences.

Happy Xmas and the best for the New Year from all of us at Think Again. It’s been a pleasure to work with you all through 2009 and next year is already shaping up to be even busier and more exciting.

Think Again are on the road for the next month as our Music Services Campaign and Communications programme gets underway. Harrow and Enfield were the first of 25 or so local authority music education teams to take part in our day-long messaging, advocacy and communications workshops. The workshops will be followed up with coaching, specific training and the creation of a “champions” group for each service. The day was a great success, and it’s a real pleasure to be working with such passionate and committed educators.
