News emerged earlier this week of 's plans to stop paying artists ANY royalties for tyracks that have been streamed fewer than 1,000 times. This is on top of the alrrady risible sums they pay hard-working artists.

In effect, it's akin to robbing small artists and labels to give even more money to the likes of Sheeran, Swift and Beyonce as well as the major labels.

Therefore, it's more important than ever that all music fans support artists directly, via platforms such as
Today (December 1st) is - a day on which the Bandcamp platform waives its fees – so if you buy ANY digital music or merch today and tomorrow (8am GMT Friday o 8am GMT Saturday) you know that ALL the money you spend will go to Ese Okorodudu and Quadrafon Music Industries - so please do what you can today and tomorrow!
