Deal, Deals and more Deals: Monsters of Investments - Undeniable, isn't it? The financial sector has without doubt boosted the music business. Private equity and institutional investors are now the new power players, increasing the monetization of music and taking the music industry to the next level. They are redefining market settings and conditions as the love affair between share holders and stake holders drives both consolidation and competition.

So do we have any questions about the beauty of market concentration? Do we have any doubts about the benefits of the corporatisation and conglomeration of music rights and live music companies?

Better get used to it, surely the money makers know what they are doing, or do they? It is without doubt a fruitful discussion between financial forecasts and bubbles and the pleasure of music investment opportunities you've never even thought of.

Lets turn panelists into analysts and let's not forget, it was the amazing Spinal Tap that in 1984 predicted: "Money Talks and Bullshit Walks!"
