    Good afternoon. I hope this finds you well.

    As you may know, I left Billboard (where I was Asia bureau chief) at the end of September to go freelance. One of the publications I’m now doing some work for is IQ, a London-based magazine that covers the touring business.

    I’m writing a story for IQ about the Chinese post-Olympics concert market, focusing on whether there are more opportunities for foreign acts to tour this potentially huge market. Have the repercussions from the Bjork/Tibet incident died down, and what further growth can we expect in the Chinese touring market?

    Any observations/comments you care to share with me by the weekend would be greatly appreciated. We can talk about this on the phone if you prefer.

    Best regards,

    Steve McClure

    I want to Know what is the opinion of China Music Radar on this proposed merger between Ticketmaster and Live Nation?

    Surely this can not be good for music fans??

    Did the mysterious Steve McClure ever do anything and/or write anything – probably not!

    Wondering if you know anything about this event

    上海广播电视台

    Distinguished Artist

    The Bund——one of most important landmark of Shanghai will reopen to the public with its brand new appearance on March 30. In order to celebrate this memorable time, Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, together with Propaganda Department of the CPC Shanghai Committee, Huangpu District Committee and Shanghai Media Group will hold a special program named “International Music Pageant Falling on the Bund”. The program, which is undertaken by Art Channel of SMG, will be lively broadcasted to the whole world through SMG’s Dragon TV and other overseas media groups on March 30, 2010.

    The Shanghai Bund has dozens of historical buildings, lining the Huangpu River, that once housed numerous banks and trading houses from Britain, France, the U.S., Russia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and Belgium, so it once was called “Oriental Wall Street”. Last year, Shanghai Municipal Government started a re-construction project so as to make the Bund more attractive. So in our spectacular event, with the theme of “Civilized River, Civic Song”, we will invite world top musicians and choirs to perform both at the Bund and our other sub venues, such as the Danube, the Ganges River, the Nile and the Mississippi River. At the last part of our International Music Celebration, we will invite the musicians and choirs in all the venues to sing “the Song of Joy” together. Through this celebration, we hope to show the passion of Shanghai People and the charm of the Bund.

    As a worldwide famous artist, —- owns good reputation and thousands of Chinese admirers. So we sincerely invite you to join us in this special celebration on March 30, 2010. We look forward to your reply.

    Yours sincerely
    Arts Channel, Shanghai Media Group

    They did contact us to find them an international artist – they wanted a headliner (a list including Backstreet Boys and Ricky Martin was included when they made the request with a highly unlikely 7 weeks to the event) and they wanted the headliner to come for (extremely) cheap due to the prestige of the event. All fairly standard. If course, we had no success…

    I was asked a couple weeks ago to help out since I had access to a few of the artists that was requested.

    Upon doing online research, I couldn’t find ANYTHING that confirmed that the event will actually be produced – though the reopening of The Bund was confirmed

    My first question was to find out who was actually making the request and paying the expenses. After being stonewalled (typical Chinese procedure), their request was turned down flat.

    Will the event actually happen? Will Dragon TV be broadcasting the event?

    Look forward to your answers after your returned from SXSW. Hey, go check out Margaret Cho’s performances in Austin! Wouldn’t it be great to bring Margaret to Beijing/Shanghai to make things exciting?!?!?! (the censors would have a field day for years when reviewing her content/jokes)

    China Music Radar is a great resource and has given us a lot of insight into the touring scene in China.

    Heima ~ Runar and Elin are an Icelandic band that have been playing in China for the last 5 years. They are the first foreign band to successfully release an album in Xiamen, and we’re looking forward to setting up a tour for this fall.

    We are open to suggestions for the best venues for a good tour. We’ve travelled a lot and recognize the limitations of the Chinese music scene, but we’re hoping to help to break new ground here and open up some of the music scene to western talent that isn’t in any way controversial.

    Hey to y’all in the “Big C(hina)” and the great Archie – who I had the pleasure to meet for a New York moment.

    I heard that 50 Cent will be performing in GZ in early May 2013 at a private club and the producer doesn’t seem to know (or at least didn’t want to tell me) if government approval has/had been given. Any 411 on this??

    Thanks!!
