This time last week I was in a room right in the middle of Sweden’s biggest music festival, Peace & Love, tackling a rather tricky question with a diverse group of music industry insiders: How is technology changing the music industry?

A couple of Saturdays ago, on June 25th to be precise, I had the great pleasure of attending Cybermummy. If you’re unaware of this event then it would be good to know that Cybermummy managed to bring together over 400 mummy bloggers at their London-based conference to great fanfare; including praise from Sarah Brown on [...]
