[@TomRobinsonMusic]

Thanks for the kind comments from folks who found it helpful - much appreciated

[@paddyryanmusician]

Thank you for this amazing lecture sir currently learning these processes and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

[@r.e.p3076]

Ten years on and this is still the best of advice, thanks dude 🎉

[@superseagoat]

Every aspiring musician should watch this. If they don't watch it all, they should at least listen to the last five minutes. Five star advice.

[@JuanSanchezPiano]

The advice this man is giving is priceless, great video!

[@repomanband]

My old band is getting back together after 20+ years. Your videos have really helped us get up to speed!

[@Roxisound]

What a great Masterclass. I've saved and made pictures of a couple of quotes from here! Defining your expectations - which John Mayer also speaks of is so important or overlooked. Find it all very relevant.

[@Mclennnan]

I haven't used a radio in years. I still believe, although it may be the destination, that the very statement of this fact in this way just proves that radio had and still has a chokehold/monopoly on music and the music industry. In parts this lecture is brilliant but in the back of my mind is why is this coming from the BBC ;)

[@JohnSparkmanandBlackTopHerd]

Great info! From a Nashville Artist. I appreciate it!

[@natanunorthodox]

This is making my gut and body ache with inspiration and excitement for this to happen... SBN Lifestyle

[@shawnsevier8118]

Tom, you are brilliant.

[@daverosewood4459]

Any aspiring musician should watch this video a couple times a week. I´ve taken so much good material and am applying this. Big thank you to Tom Robinson and freshnet for helping artists just starting off.

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

No, any aspiring musician should ignore this video. It's grim!... He's saying you should just post your music online and hope for the best!. Wow, what a fantastic world.

[@themuleaffair5723]

'The rule of nine' - Thank you! That is going to stick in my head now every time I'm writing a song and I hate it, I'll remember what you said and I'll FINISH it instead of chucking it away, and I'll keep doing that until I get to the nine. I'm so pleased I watched this.

"nothing good comes easy," so keep being creative and bringing new tings one day u hit it

[@Mesmerizeization]

Tom makes a lot of sense,but as far as what he said about fans,real fans support the music when they buy it. If someone can get music for free why buy it.Fans that buy the music provide a valuable service,they make it possible for artist to make more of the music the fans love. People aren't stupid,they know professionals sell their music. When someone presents themselves in an honest way,I'll listen to what they have and if it moves me I'll buy it. Buying music and paying for concert tickets shows respect to the artists that dedicate their lives to share what's in their souls. The greatest hits of all time often times were accidents.

[@HumbleIsWisdom]

I agree about having a balanced life. Music is my hobby however I am starting to get the recognition I for years craved. It's about making the best music without compromising ones purse. I really enjoyed your talk.

[@mattgooderson5297]

Dear Tom, Thanks for the lecture, I have used this to write a new module called Artist Development for Westminster University.

[@acharich]

Brilliant talk! Informative and inspiring. What a glorious era we live in when this sort of info is available at the touch of a button, for free, and there are busy people willing to put it together. Now, off to find that amazing song... :)

Great video

[@LoveSpreads91]

Really interesting and thought provoking hour. Glad I watched

[@RhondaMerrickmusician]

I particularly liked the advice on how to submit a CD like a song-plugger. I was already doing a lot of this stuff, but this brilliant talk helped make some ideas more cohesive. I listened to it twice. thank you for sharing that. I haven't written a letter with pen/paper/stamp/post office etc... in a long long time. But I'll have a go! :0)

[@arrbiej.5173]

Great video... Inspirational and informative. Thank you.

[@dopesensi]

Tom Robinson used to be the leader of the EDL and now he's in the music scene ?

[@justinward3687]

At 6:44 people starting to think: "Wonder if I fed the cat?" At 13:54 starting to lose the will to live.

[@Mikeandthedyslexicunicorns]

[@Vanadeo]

I saw this and was thinking.. Oh whats he gonna be babbling on about, switc hed it on and laid back in bed.. Do you know what, It's really good and informative and priceless advice.. Cheers Tom.

[@mikeklein8364]

This guy is awesome. Chock of useful info. Listen and learn.

[@sarao8420]

Tom looks like Louis Van Gaal.

[@MrMrkun]

And kinda sounds like Jeremy Clarkson.

[@Vanadeo]

LOL was just thinking that.

[@j-lukemuziq551]

[@Veaseify]

Neuro Linguistic Programming? I don't understand..

[@ThisIsErdoS]

No, thank you. very cool.

[@Prysmofficial]

apple music is the new frontier.

[@zacharysaunders2100]

what is a plugger?

[@highestsettings]

They're people who try to get your music played, be it radio or adverts, films or TV. They've essentially replaced the promotion aspect of a record deal. Now all a record deal does is give you money to record. Whereas they used to do everything for you.

[@acharich]

Johnny Torpedo - basically.. 😅

[@take2vidio1]

I HAVE AMAZING SONGS

[@nickabbiss9545]

Check out a song on KZbin called it’s good by mrfallrise xx

[@KamilInHarmony]

8:50

[@Scott_Raynor]

Unfortunate name...

[@theokatman]

for someone starting out , radio play is out of reach

[@Brokenmono]

It's harder to make a living as a musician than it ever has been, Kate Bush was developed by EMI for two years before she achieved success... would that happen now?, no way. So to say its better now, is cobblers.

[@FurianMusic]

This is great. Nice one Tom. CHECK US OUT DAMMIT! Haha :3

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

Could you take this embarrassing piece of rubbish off KZbin... It is plainly clear that this is a very difficult time to be a musician and that the internet has messed up the music industry.

[@Khayyam-vg9fw]

What a bunch of ugly bastards in the audience. I wish every one of them abject failure.
