Description: 16 p. : digital, fitxer PDF (675,21 Kb)Online resources: In: International journal of cultural policy Vol. 30, n. 5 (2024), p. 667-681.Summary: While the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the live music industryhave received much attention, little consideration has been given to regio-nal music production clusters more broadly. Evaluating the impacts of thepandemic on the music economy of North West England, this paper iden-tifies key areas of support required as music businesses transition intoa digitally-orientated post-COVID period. Findings demonstrate the waysin which the pandemic encouraged or forced music businesses to innovatewith new digital ways of showcasing, promoting and distributing music.Yet, while digitalisation offers many opportunities, these are often difficultfor businesses to capitalise upon. The paper argues the need to placebusiness support at the heart of local cultural policy. More specifically, thepaper makes the case for a soft institutionalist approach whereby localpolicymakers, the market and civil society work together to generate anddistribute crucial resources of human, financial and social capital.
