Ep 363 - 6 Music's State of Independents with Arlo Parks in Session

Today is 6 Music's State of Independents day as we shine a light on challenges & opportunities the UK鈥檚 Independent music industry faces due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Thursday 10th September is 6 Music's State of Independents as we celebrate all things independently spirited. Across the day 6 Music will shine a light on the UK鈥檚 Independent music sector, focusing on the challenges, opportunities and responses of the industry caused by the pandemic lockdown as well as celebrating independent artists with music from artists signed to independent labels all day. 6 Music will also focus on independent venues and their plight as well as independent record shops and clubs which have all been affected in different ways over the last few months.

As part of this Shaun welcomes the brilliant Arlo Parks - singed to the independent Transgressive Records - to the show to play a brilliant live session which will include her stunning 2020 singe Black Dog.

Alongside all of this, Matt Everitt is here with the latest Music News which includes chats with Daniel Miller of Mute records, Simon Raymonde of Bella Union and Lucy Rose of Real Kind Records about the challenges labels have faced during this pandemic. We also hear from independent artists Nuala Honan and Ailbhe Reddy about how they've gone about releasing records during a pandemic and Paul Pacifico from the Association of Independent Music tells Shaun about the importance of the independent music industry in the UK.
