Authority AttacksM40 Format Switchby Emmanuel Legrand

PARIS - A decision by CLT tosuddenly change the name andformat of FM network M40has resulted in a violent clashwith the French broadcastingauthority CSA.

On January 18, the formatof M40 changed from EHR toACE/news and the network'sname was switched to RTL1without any notice.

The move came only weeksafter the CSA had rejected onthe grounds of "pluralism" a'long-standing bid by the Lux-embourg -based CLT group toacquire 100% of M40 (M&M,January 21).

CLT-which currentlyowns 35.7% of M40 shares-had waited almost a year forthe CSA judgement, whichRTL president Jacques Rigauddescribed as "surprising."

In a statement at the time,Rigaud maintained CLT still

intended to play an active rolein M40 as a shareholder.

The group's subsequentdecision to alter the name andformat of M40 withoutinforming the CSA has exact-ed a prompt-and stern-response from the Authority.

The CSA has urged CLT"to broadcast programmingsimilar to that agreed by thelicensing convention" insteadof the new -format RTL1which it says is "significantlydifferent to the programmespreviously broadcast."

Industry commentatorssay the CSA's strong reactionis obviously a warning toother networks not to imple-ment similar changes, whichwould jeopardize any futureradio regulation. Some radioexecutives have dubbed CLT'slatest move as "suicidal."

The CSA says the namechange was "linked to the pro-posed change in capital." As

At presstime, CLT hadfailed to comply with theCSA's request to revert to theold M40 format and name.

Community RadioShould Ban Advertsby Nicholas George

STOCKHOLM - A survey of Swe-den's extensive communityradio network has recommend-ed the government ban adver-tising on the frequencies.

Researchers from the coun-try's Radio and TV Authoritylistened to community stationsacross Sweden and found thatmany were being run for prof-it, while others had no reallink with the voluntary associ-ations and charities supposedto be using the airwaves.

In some cases the frequen-cies were little more thansmall-scale -local commercialstations. Others were domi-nated by chart music and car-ried little information on thevoluntary organisations sup-posed to broadcast on the 158channels nationwide.

In its report to the govern-ment-the recommendationsof which were made public lastweek-the Authority urged

that advertising be banned oncommunity stations. It alsoadvised that the network beused by individuals and localcouncils rather than just vol-untary organisations.

However, the report sayssponsorship of programmesshould be allowed.

In return, community sta-tions have asked to be allowedto broadcast networked mater-ial such as news bulletins.This is now prohibited.

The advent of commercialradio in 1993 meant manycommunity radio stations losttheir importance. In somecases, the most successful com-munity stations took up thenew commercial frequencies.But the remaining stations areimportant for record compa-nies attempting to break newartists and for commercial sta-tions looking for fresh talent.

The government is to con-sider the report before produc-ing new legislation.

M&M SPOTLIGHT DUTCH MUSIC

The Dutch Go MIDEMby Maria Jimenez

OLLAND'S musical talent is currently enjoy-ing a surge in popularity both within andbeyond its borders. In a country traditionallyknown as the willing recipient of internationalculture, the local diverse music scenes have in

the past struggled with their own identity, yet in recent yearshave strengthened and developed to the point of being seriouscompetition to their foreign counterparts.

Dutch acts are finding more positions on national charts andbreaking through international borders with more regularitythan ever before in areas of dance, rock, pop and jazz.

According to the local NVPI office, the total turnover ofDutch product in Holland over the last decade has nearly dou-bled from Dfl 119 million (app. US$66 million) in 1983 to Dfl210 million in 1993. There are no statistics for Dutch productbeing sold outside Holland, but assorted acts like 2 Unlimited,Twenty 4 Seven, Bettie Serveert, Urban Dance, Squad, CandyDuffer, Laura Fygi and the Rosenberg Trio are certainly moreactive on the international circuits and each is rising in staturein their respective genres.

The current success of Dutch music, coupled with growinginterest from abroad, has encouraged the temporary alliance ofseven Dutch organisations in the joint "Music from Holland"promotion during Midem '95 from January 30 to February 3 inCannes, France. It is under this baner that BUMA, STEMRA,

NVPI, NVGD, CPG, SENA and the Conamus Foundation are presentingDutch talent to the international music industry. Special financial support isalso being provided by the Dutch Ministry Of Economic Affairs.

An increased presence of Dutch companies will be evident in the exhibitionhall where, in addition to the traditional Conamus/BUMA/STEMRA stand(#02,43), other stands will be occupied by Basic Beat Recordings, Berhig Dis-tribution, Boju Records, Continental Record Services, CNR, Dance Interna-tional Records, Dureco BV, Dureco Manufacturing, Eddy Ouwens Produc-tions, Essential Dance Music, Freaky Records, ID&T Evenementen, MunichRecords, Nanada Music/Red Bullet Productions, ODME, Oreade, PhilipsConsumer Electronics, Rhythm Distribution, Sentinel, TBM International/Dino Music, ToCo International, Turbo Music, United Entertainment/KuysLeisure and XSV Music.

Known as the gateway to Europe, Holland will be providing two-way traf-fic this year with an emphasis on the export of homegrown music. The "Musicfrom Holland" promotion will kick off with the Opening Night Party in thePalm Beach on January 29 organised by the Dutch in cooperation withMIDEM and co -sponsored by Dutch electronics company Philips. The eventpromises to be full of surprises including a hi -tech atmosphere and a specialappearance by Golden Earring.

The three nights following the Opening Night Party will be Dutch dance,rock and pop evenings, presenting some of the country's top acts. Additional-ly, a few Dutch acts will be included in international showcases on the lasttwo nights of MIDEM. Following is a mini -handbook of who's who in theDutch music scene.

M & M R A D MAKING WAVES

New Leicester Sounds ACE, Smooth And Local PROGRAMMINGSince New Leicester Sound in the Mid-lands, UK, was taken over from theMidland Radio Group by GWR inMarch 1994, its format has changedradically-moving swiftly from EHR toACE. Under its new positioning state-ment -Greatest Hits of the '60s, '70s,'80s and Today-the station has seenits ratings rise from the "mid teens" toa 26% cume share in third quarterRajar ratings.

Programme controller Cohn Wilsherjoined the station in the summer fromChiltern Network's Northants radio,and has seen the station shape up intowhat he calls an "a station for adults,with adult music and adult presenters."

"GWR has put a lot of resources intothe station in the form of musicresearch and promotional ideas. Forlisteners the main difference is that thesound of the station has now becomemuch more focussed." As an EHR sta-

tion, the music was not always as for-matted as it could be, he says. Now theplaylist is tight ACE.

Sheryl Crow's All I Want To Do,Roxette's Run To You and Lisa Loeb'sStay (I Missed You) aretrade mark LeicesterSound tracks, saysWilsher. "We are alsostrong on Phil Collins,Meatloaf, the Doors,Led Zeppelin, and BonJovi, although we con-centrate on the balladside of the latter'srepertoire," he adds.

And playlist choicesare based on a healthylevel of research. "GWRas a group conducts auditorium tests,which are used as a basis tool by itsstations. Meanwhile, we are constantlyon the look out for particular recordsthat we think would fit with the sta-tion. What we find is then often sub -

jected to an auditorium test.""We have a lot of interaction on the

station here, via our listener lines,which also help to keep us in touchwith what people want to hear."

As far as keepingtracks in the list, we goon a combination of gutfeeling and research.The problem can oftenbe that as a program-mer you get far tooclose to the music, andyou may tire of a trackfar earlier than the lis-teners.

At that point wewould compare what wethink with results of

auditorium tests. We were still playlist-ing Wet Wet Wet's Love Is All Aroundin December, for example, which hadbeen on since the summer. It's just agreat radio track.

As for an adult presentation style?

Radio I. Oslo Uses New Full Daytime:Programmes To Listeners MoodsIIPROGRAMMINGThings changed considerably at ACE -formatted Radio 1 Oslo last autumn,when the station switched its frequencyfrom 1068FM to 102FM, allowing it tobroadcast uninterrupted during theday. For PD Anne Kristine Espejord,this meant programming at the stationcould at last follow the moods of its lis-teners from breakfast to tea -time.

The crowning station in the chain ofRadio 1 stations set up by owner AllesGruppen at the beginning of 1994,Radio 1 Oslo targets a female -dominat-ed 14 -39 -year demo with a principallyACE format. In its catchment area-Oslo and surrounds-it has a listener -ship of 8-9.000 people, which repre-sents a market share of 15%.

"The style of the station is up -beatand fast," says Espejord. Slots are shortand snappy, and we make our priority'being there when it when it happens.'We have DJs' running around the cityin the morning reporting on what'sgoing on, and good traffic and weathernews. We reckon that our early morn-ing listeners should generally knowwhat's news before they open the morn-ing papers."

Although with a 14-39 target demo,one can hardly talk of tight formatting,the day's programming is split into sixplaylists, which are strictly compiled."The playlists vary just enough toreveal the individual style of each pre-senter, but not so much that listenersdon't know what station they are lis-tening to."

A steady ACE repertoire of artistsmakes up the core of the musical pro-gramming. Say You'll Be Mine-AmyGrant, Red Red Wine-UB 40, There

Must Be An Angel-Eurythmics,Daniel-Elton John and Holding BackThe Years-Simply Red are all artistsyou'd hear during the day on the sta-tion. Norwegian acts such as Di Dirre(Girls) and Trien Riun are also popular."We play about three Norwegian tracksa day," says Espejord.

"Getting the music right at the sta-tion is our first priority. We have twomusic programmers who plan all ourprogrammes. Hitting the right tracks isusually a combination of gut feel andoccasionally research. There are someartists, who we know without testing

FM f02

will go down well with our listeners. Atother times we take chances on gutfeeling, because we want to be the firstwith a song. If we are really not sure,we will conduct an auditorium test on atrack.

"It took years of lobbying to per-suade the government to give us anoth-er frequency, and we now broadcastuninterrupted from 06.00 to 20.00,which is a real liberation. We used togo off the air between 12.00-14.00,

which lost us a lot of listeners, andruined any sense of continuity duringthe day.

"Trying to place ourselves in our lis-tener's mood during the day is some-thing I think is very important. Youhave to know what the listener wantsto hear at different times of the day.For instance, you know that when peo-ple just get in to work, they need timeto have their cup of coffee and wake up,they don't want to concentrate for toolong, so we cut down on the speech."Later on in the morning, we pump upthe music towards lunch time. From14.00-15.00 we have the upbeat happyhour, and a slightly more mellow pro-gramme in the afternoon from 15.00-18.00.

"The secret to successful radio isknowing what you are talking aboutwhen you are on air, and why you aretalking about it. Is this what the listen-ers are interested in? This is somethingwe really try and underline to our pre-senters. Every day we have a meetingto go through what was said, which bitswe thought were good, and which couldhave been improved.

We encourage our DJs to make per-sonal contact on the air, and to culti-vate some personality. That way thelisteners know immediately who theyare listening to. After a while they getto know for example that this DJ likesrock music, or that another one preferssoul. They get to know the DJs, andthat creates a sense of intimacy.

"However, this should never go toofar. No matter how many programmeswe have during the day, the listenershould always know that they are lis-tening to Radio 1.

By Julia Sullivan

"Most of our presenters are around 30,and we have fairly strict guidelinesregarding what they should say on air,and how they should say it. Above allwe like presenters to avoid talkingabout themselves. This is a station forLeicestershire, and we encourage pre-senters to give that message, by talk-ing about the area, and events goingon locally.

"Yes, we are into personality radio,but it is the radio that has the person-ality, not every different DJ. Ratherthan have a series of individual pre-senters which break the day up intodifferent parts, it is important forthere to be a strong continuity."

"As with many stations, the break-fast show is the slot which says mostabout our style. It is double -presented,with regular traffic and news bulletinsand lots of music. In the evening wehave a daily news current affairs pro-gramme and a sports programme."

We take IRN news, and have alsohad the FT Business News sinceautumn 1994. I would say it has beenmoderately successful with us. At thebeginning it tended to cover verynational news, like changes at majorcorporations, but we have recentlytried to get them to include more localcompany news relevant to our area.

The most exciting part of being aprogramme director I think, is to seean idea develop. You start by throwingideas around in the office, and lateryou see it take shape on the air. Thatcertainly gives me a real kick.

We have had various very success-ful features which have developed likethat. One promotions feature calledrock, shop, and recover, was particu-larly successful. We arranged ticketsto any concert in the UK for two peo-ple. Then we sent them to shop in Syd-ney, with AusUS$500 pocket money,and afterwards they had seven days torecover on the Barrier Reef.

Listeners had to listen out for aparticular record and then call in. Weran it for three weeks. It was such abig prize that we wanted as many lis-teners to enjoy it. It created a buzzaround the stations, it sounded excit-ing and it extended listening time.

Many of the ideas we use are basedon concepts developed by the GWRgroup, which are then modified to fitus. I work closely with GWR groupprogramme director Steve Orchard.He lays down the outline of format-tobe a greatest hits station aiming for a25-45 audience-but the actual soundof the new Leicester Sound is myresponsibility.

The real difficulty of radio is that isall over so quick, is a constant produc-tion line,-everything you do is com-pared with what you have done before.This rock, shop and recover promotionhas been very successful, but we arealready having to start thinking upideas for next year

The key is to continuously havebrainstorm meetings, and to ensurethere is good team work at the station.

M & M R A D I 0 MAKING WAVES

From Idea To The Final MixJINGLESGuest writer Ed Shane from ShaneMedia Services gives pointers on mak-ing the most of a jingle session.

Nothing brings radio to life better thantight production enhanced by crisp,exciting jingles. Not every formataccommodates jingles well, but it sureis fun to hear a good package on the airin the right setting.

Dallas, Texas, is the home of theworld's major jingle producers. It hasbeen a jingle centre for so long, there'sa tight -knit group of instrumentalistsand singers who do most of the ses-sions, regardless of the company doingthe production. What each companyhas to set itself apart from the next oneis an exclusive writer and producerwho offer a "sound" that is their own.That unique "sound" becomes the com-pany's sound.

Of the two types of jingles avail-able-custom and syndicated-moststations opt for syndicated product. Notonly are these cheaper because of theirnon -exclusivity, but it's also easier toknow how the package will sound.Except for the call signs and logo lines,the sound on the demo tape is thesound you'll get for your station. Cus-tom jingles, on the other hand, aremore difficult to "hear in your head."Because they involve writing newmelodies, new lyrics and, often, a newsound or concept, there's no final sounduntil the recording is completed.

Plan AheadWriting must be done before the ses-sion. If you get to the studio and decideto make major changes you will bewasting time and money. You're goingto pay for the session whether you do itor not.

Enhancing in the studio is okay, aslong as you're enhancing somethingthat's already planned. During sessions

for KFRG (K -Frog) in San Bernardino,California, the singers had creativeideas on how to add to the "frog" logowith croaking sounds. Some of the frogcroaks, however, had already beenwritten in before the session. Theenhancements made the effect fun onair.

The time for writing is when youdecide on the package in the first place.You should listen to demos from eachcompany, trying to sing your logo oryour call letters with whatever's on thedemo. That's difficult. If the station hascrammed, "You're in the middle of a 30-

minute non-stop, laset-hot musicmarathon" into the jingle and all youwant to say is FM 99, you'll need assis-tance from the writer at the jingle firm.I find them very accommodating; I'veeven asked them to sing my lyrics onthe phone in advanceso I'm sure howthey'll sound.

Attending A SessionWhen you attend a jingle session onbehalf of your station, you're not thereto produce or to direct. The staff of thejingle company is trained to do that foryou. You're there to listen. You knowhow your call sing should sound.

If you hear something odd, ask tohear it again. Ask for another take, ifnecesssary. You'll find that the singerswill catch problems long before you do.They'll even catch problems you would-n't have thought about.

The singing is done in "parts" orharmonies. Any individual part maysound odd because each is designed tomesh with all the others to create thefinal sound. It is possible that themelody may not be represented in anyone part but is a product of all the partstogether. So until all are sung youmight think your jingle sounds awful.Usually the engineer will alert youbeforehand.

The singers will appear to pay noattention to the project at all. Suddenly

100 YEARS IN RADIO

Although you may not realise it, 1995 is the 100th anniversaryof the first steps taken in the application of electromagnetic

radiation, which led to radio as we know it today. This was fol-lowed by the first successful demonstration of wireless telegraphy a

year later in London, performed by the father of radiO himself, Gugliemo Marconi.To celebrate this most spectacular anniversary, Music & Media will be educat-

ing and entertaining you weekly with a brief historical fact about the events that 'have shaped European radio into what it is today. You can find this column withinthe new "Making Waves" pages of Music & Media. And make sure to keep an eyeout for our Radio 100th Anniversary special, to be published in early September tocoincide with the NAB show in New Orleans.

We begin with:

March, 1964: Radio Caroline, to go down in history as one of the most successfulpirate stations, begins broadcasting from the North Sea, three years before the birthof BBC Radio 1. The British labour government prepares battle against Carolineand other pirates two years later, and although the station is forced to shore a num-ber of times, Caroline manages to broadcast off and on until the mid -'70s.

(source: "The Invisible Medium", Peter M. Lewis and Jerry Booth; 1989,London, Macmillan Education Ltd.)

the music starts, and they fall into per-fect balance. It's not lack of care. It'sjust that they're professionals. Theymake it look easy. I've been at sessionswhere the singers are busily engaged inconversation. For instance, comparingautomobile prices, paging throughnewspaper for auto listings. Thesingers are not distracted by whatlooks (and sounds) to us like distrac-tion.

The final mix may or may not bedone the same day as the singing. Ifnot, you can hear a round mix that willreflect the final product but will not bethe final product.

Take advantage of the advice offeredby the firm you've chosen. They knowtheir business and they've done lots ofjingle sessions for lots of braodcasters.It's a good bet that if they tell yousomething can't be done it cant bedone. Believe me, it doesn't happenoften. If they make a suggestion of achange, they're not trying to take overthe creative reins. They're sharingvaluable experience.

One final note: when you put yourjingles on the air, they're not yours. Inmost cases, jingles are leased, not sold.This means a renewal fee after a yearor two of use. Using jingles without therenewal fee or lifting jingles from demopackages is a violation of licensingagreements.

Hopefully Todd will be hot soonwith his Dan Baird -type of fun. JonasLundbladh, the newly appointed head ofmusic at Radio Stella FM 106/Helsing-borg (Sweden), has a weakness for greatcountry rock. "Snider is sharing our play -list with the Jayhawks' new single Blue.We like to try out newcomers for a coupleof weeks. Depending on any action byother stations, we'll go on with the trackconcerned. We gave Todd a shot becauseof the pleasant American west coastimpact it had on us."

AlbumsLITA FORDBlack - ZYX r/ehrPRODUCER: The Robb BrothersFrom the T -Ford to the Ford CosworthFormula One engine, they never let youdown. La Lita kick-starts her album inpole position in the ladies rock division.The title track and Fall immediately drawattention by their suspenseful ambience.This is no simple party rock anymore, thisis almost alternative stuff -small wonderwith left -field producers the Robb Broth-ers (of Lemonheads and Buffalo Tom -fame) at the helm. But then again what'ssurprising, knowing that her former Run-away sidekick Joan Jett records PaulWesterberg songs?

HUMAN LEAGUEOctopus - East West ehr/d/aPRODUCER: Ian StanleyWith the generation of those who wereyoung during the '80s having grown up,the time has come for a revival of itsfavourite music. Simultaneously we seethe Simple Minds and the Human Leaguereturn. For both, their first singles sort ofdefine the territorial borders. Tell MeWhen portrays Phil Oakey and the girlsas a perfect replica of the electro pop bandaround 1981's Dare album. So what, aslong as the songs are good. And they are!The words to These Are The Days, anexcellent future single candidate, are theLeague's defense against inhumane criticspointing their finger at the deja vu charac-ter of the album. Hit -wise Oakey cum suiswill have the last laugh.

LITTLE AXEThe Wolf That House Built- Wired/M&G a/d/r/ehrPRODUCER: Skip McDonald/Adrian Sherwood

Master "eclecticus" Skip McDonald usesall his musical expertise to show -us thelink between a variety of black musicstyles with its "mother," da blues. Themulti -instrumentalist has seen and doneit all. In the pioneering days of hip hop hewas present as a member of the SugarHill House Band. Later he shared thefrontline with remixer-avant-la-lettre anddub expert Adrian Sherwood's On -USound system and Tackhead. With thehelp of his longtime collaborators DougWimbish and Keith Leblanc he stretchesthe borders of the blues genre immensely.Blues within a dance framework; yourfaith in avant-garde is restored.

MCALMONTMcAlmont - Hut ehr/d/acePRODUCER: P.Sampson/D. McAlmont/E. Buller/S. Freeman/M. AdeJust a surname, oiie word, handy for on -air use like "Kylie" or "Seal." Having men-tioned the latter, that's the artist DavidMcAlmont (yep, that's his full name)reminds us of most. It's not exactly soulmusic, "soulful pop" will do as a categori-sation. Production is of a Trevor Horn-iness, verging on pomposity. Sequencersand prominent drums cement the fasttracks (Either, Conversation and It'sAlways This Way); a ballad (Is ItRaining?) is of course of cosmic magni-tude.

WEEZERWeezer- Geffen a/r/ehrPRODUCER: Ric OcasekLoud music in cars, turn it up. Weezer'ssouped -up guitar -driven pop is as carradio -programmable as label mates UrgeOverkill or the posies. DJs out there bearin mind that part of the alternative demoalso lines up in the traffic jam everyday.Do them a favour by playing first singleUndone -The Sweater Song, No One Elseor Buddy Holly with that silly twinsynth/guitar, the sole signature of produc-er Ocasek, the one-time driver of NewYork's Cars.

CHRIS WHITLEYDin Of Ecstacy- Chaos r/aPRODUCER: John Custer/Chris Whitleyhet us take you to the crossroads to shakehands with guitar demon Whitley on therelease of his second album. If you're will-ing to take the term "blues" as wide aspossible, then he's the one and only heirof Robert Johnson, certainly since thedeath of John Campbell. Whitley is notthat far away from Led Zep or Jeff Buck-ley, but it's at least 10 times darker in hisunderworld. His modern blues are fright-ening, even in broad day light. Slide gui-tars and his tormented voice make a hor-ror movie out of Know. Producer JohnCuster, who gave Cry Of Love such a finetransparent '70s rock sound, has nowtaken the Daniel Lanois sonic avenue.Always putting you on the wrong foot,there won't be a more doomsday -likeblues album in 1995.

VAN HALEN

Balance - Warner Brothers r/ehrPRODUCER: Bruce FairbairnNever sounding rusty, Van Halen'smachinery is greased with the latestdevelopments in rock. First single Don'tTell Me (What Love Can Do) is as goodas anything coming out of Seattle. TheVan Halen brothers are faithful to theirDutch origin through the song Amster-dam and the employment of top engi-neer Erwin Musper. By now one canconclude that the best thing that everhappened to them is David Lee Roth'sdeparture four albums ago. His replace-ment Sammy Hagar deserves due creditas the catalyst who kept the band sofresh over the past years. Can't StopLoving You is that typical VII sing -along for the jukeboxes in Hard RockCafes all over the world. If they can playit there, they can do it anywhere, evenon air.

M & M I C ARTISTS IN PROGRESS

Simple Minds Tell "Good News From The Next World"by Robbert Tilli

Lorram - First the Human League,then the Simple Minds..., where will itstop? Might there by any chance be an'80s revival? Reduced to a duo-JimHerr and Charlie Burchill-a "newgold dream" of cerebral pop isproclaimed by Good News From TheNext World, their first album in fouryears. A month after its official air date(December 22), the rocking lead-offsingle She's A River is reported by 96EHR stations across Europe, resultingin a number 1 chart position in M&M'sEHR Top 40 at presstime. At Virginthe beneficial outcome of six monthspreparation is welcomed with relief.

Apparently the Simple Minds arestill hot property for EHR programmersall over the continent. In Belgium, forinstance, the Scotsmen have alwayshad a solid reputation because of theirnumerous appearances at the yearlyTorhout/Werchter festival, a factacknowledged by BRTN Radio Donnahead of music Marc Deschuyter."When we announce on the air thatwe're going to do something specialwith the new Simple Minds album,then we know the fan base will tune into us. We've already taped an interview,ready for broadcast in the week ofrelease (January 30). To me the singleis solid hit material."

Most striking is the radioinfiltration of the Keith Forsey-co-produced single in Poland with 80% ofall stations putting it in powerplayrotation. Edi Frenkler, head of musicat Radio Plus/Gdansk, attributes theinitial enthusiasm to two factors. "Firstof all it's because of their long absencefrom the recording front. SecondlyPomaton, Polish distributor of all EMIproduct, is a very aggressive company.Whereas in the past we had to wait forthe album to get programmablematerial, we now get the singles ontime, simultaneously with the westernEuropean countries."

Reputedly the Simple Minds' biggestfrustration has always been the unfair,but ongoing, comparisons with theirIrish peers U2. That, however, doesn'tstop Frenkler from doing it once more."Since this track is so close to U2, weget an enormous amount of phone callsto ask for more. To calm them down abit we also play the other new tracks onthe single E55 and Celtic Strings."

In Scandinavia, another veryreceptive region, City 107/Gothenborghead of music Lars Bodin sees noproblems with the U2 connotations."Well, both bands draw from the sameCeltic influences. It remains to be seenwho was first, a classic case of thechicken and the egg. It's hard topinpoint what I like about this greattrack. It's harder than most radiotracks, that's for sure. Furthermore ithas that Celtic feeling without anybagpipes. You could almost call itmedieval. For me it evokes images ofthe beginning of the 'Highlander' film.

"Whatever they do, rockers, balladsor short snappy numbers, there'salways their own stamp on it. Every

first time you hear a Simple Mindssong, you think it's them. But after afew' spins the actual song comesthrough. It's multi-formattable, andstill not too much on the safe sideeither."

In the Simple Minds' nativeScotland, the red carpet has been rolledout on a massive scale. Weeks beforethe official release date, at ForthRFM/Edinburgh an interview withKerr and Burchill has been "canned"

for later broadcast. DJ MarkFindlay enjoyed the privilegeof attending a pre-releaselistening session with aninterview tied in. "My firstimpression of the single wasthat it was exactly what Iexpected from them. But thenonce I talked to the guys in theband, I put everything moreinto perspective. Theyexplained me that, despitetheir keyboard player'sdeparture before cutting 1991'salbum Real Life, the finalresult was still a very synth -dominated piece of work. Itsfollow-up is written from aguitarist's point of view, andit's obviously far more riff -

based. All 'n all it's more themselvesthan the last one, which in retrospectwas probably their least vintage SimpleMinds effort."

Findlay has heard at least sixtypically Simple Minds anthem -likesongs. "Hypnotise is most likely tobecome the next single, I would say.Meanwhile the current single is one ofthe most played tracks on our stationwith 29 plays a week."

Confronted with radio's warmwelcome to the single, and effectivelythe album, Nancy Berry, executive VPVirgin Music Worldwide, comments,"We're delighted that the radio stationshave shared in our enthusiasm for thisgreat rock album. For us this is arecord of major importance whichdemanded a long lead time, to be set upon a pan-European basis. It all startswith the artists. Jim and Charlie haveworked incredibly hard to actively pre -promote the album throughoutEurope."

Golden Earring Rings In New Fansby Robbert Tilli

HILVERSUM - Sceptics call themHolland's sole contribution to rock 'n'roll, easily overlooking other luminariessuch as Focus, Herman Brood andVandenberg. Take it for belittling theDutch scene, or see it as a bigcompliment to the Golden Earring, 30years in business and still going strong.With a showcase at the opening night ofMIDEM, their new album Face It willbe launched internationally.

Radar Love from 1973 is one ofthose Earring oldies which has becomea true radio evergreen. Since then theworld might have lost track of them, athome they're still the best-sellingnational rock act. Up to now over300.000 copies have been sold of their1992 "Unplugged Greatest Hits" albumNaked Truth. The size of this successoverwhelmed even the seasoned rockersthemselves, so they decided to partlyrecreate the same intimate ambiencefor their follow-up album. Face It hasbecome a fifty-fifty compromisebetween an electric and an acoustic set.

Guitarist George Kooymans-onehalf of the Dutch Glimmertwins, theother half , is lead singer BarryHay-looks back at the success ofNaked Truth with a grin on his face. "Itwas pure coincidence actually. Wenever thought that this would come outof it."

When bass player Rinus Gerritsensuggested an "Unplugged" album, hedidn't get a very warm response fromhis colleagues in the band. "Do wereally have to do this?" definedKooymans' attitude back then. "Weweren't over -enthusiastic. But it moreor less fitted within our schedule, so wethought 'why not?' Sony [MusicHolland] also liked the idea."

The whole acoustic circus then hitthe road on a Dutch theatre tour, a

lucrative side activity next to theirnormal electric gigs. Kooymans shrugshis shoulders to the criticism for havingjumped on the Unplugged band wagon."That's bullshit," he counters. "Theyeven make a big deal about Dylan'sappearance in 'MTV's Unplugged'. Inthe past, when an album was reallymade with the intention to create anentity, it was quite normal to do oneagoustic track. In a way,it's nothing new."

For the new homestudio -recorded album-"It's cheaper and it'salmost stress free"-another tour along theplush seated -circuit inHolland was booked."That's why we cut a fewmore acoustic tracks onthe new album,"Kooymans explains. "Butthen again we still haveenough songs left fromthe past [his publishingback catalogue consists of over 300songs], which we haven't touched foryears. I often have to reconstruct themcompletely to get an idea how I playedthem first time around."

In Kooyman's eyes the acoustictrend is a counter -reaction to all thatoverproduced music from the '80s. Thepeople like it, but for the musician it'smore difficult. "You're standing naked,I'll be damned if it isn't true. You can'thide yourself any longer or manipulatethe sound with your volume button.Playing a song this way makes the songitself come out. For me the secret of agood song is that it remains intactwhen you undress it."

The Naked Truth has rung in newgenerations listening to old and newmaterial alike. But would it also workabroad? "The reason why they like it inHolland is because we have such a

'historic' repertoire," analysesKooymans. "They know our hits fromthe beginning up to now. We nevermanaged to consolidate the success ofRadar Love and the Moontan albumabroad, so we missed out on a lot ofgenerations there, but we'll try itagain."

For that purpose the band has foundSony Music Germany marketing

manager Mike Heiselon its side. "For theinternational singleHold Me Now [athome second singleJohnny Make Believeis out] we use ourcomplete marketingtoolbox," Heiselclaims. "Given the factthat our market israther slow, we expect

j to work it for at least4 four months-if radio

gets behind it ofcourse. By a four -day

radio promo tour, we'll try to get a footin the door."

Similar good feedback from otherforeign affiliates forced Sony MusicHolland to go for an internationalrelease of Face It in the new yearinstead of October, the official Dutchrelease date. "We didn't want it to getlost on the hectic Christmas market,"states Sony Music Hollandinternational exploitation managerAkkie Groen. "In Holland you cantake that risk, as is sufficiently provedby the album's gold status by now[50.000 copies sold]."

A video of Hold Me Now is ready. Asell -through video, an extended versionof the TV special as broadcast bypubcaster Veronica twice, is availablefor promotional purposes too.

M&M SPOTLIGHT DANCE MUSIC

MIDEM: A Dance Licence Paradiseby Maria Jimenez

DANCE music is the pop of the '90s. From softto hardcore, dance has wielded its power in1994, mainly within but also beyond Europe'sborders, accounting for more than half ofMusic & Media's year-end Eurochart Hot 100

'inglcs sales chart and popping up on international chartsaround the world.

Finding, promoting and licensing out the next hit track isthe key to success for many European record companies andpublishers. In light of the genre's success and border -breakingabilities, loose alliances of dance companies have been estab-lished in the recent past with new additions each year. Kickingoff 1995, MIDEM serves as a prime setting for the networkingof dance companies. As this 29 -year -old conference prepares toopen this week in Cannes, France, discussions with a selectionof industry members gives insight into the success of dancemusic, the importance of strong networks and a look at what'sin store for the second half of the last decade of the 20th cen-tury.

The general consensus is that although England and the USare still playing a major role in international dance music, con-tinental Europe has gained remarkably more ground in the lastthree years. After 40 years of internationally successful pop

music reigned by talent from the US and UK, the balance between EuropeanA&R and the Anglo-American territory is headed toward equilibrium. While Eng-land has contributed the likes of D -Ream (Magnet), M -People (Deconstruc-tion), Two Cowboys (ffrreedom), The Grid (Deconstruction) and The Prodi-gy (XL) to the commercial dance arena, the US has supplied Reel 2 Realfeaturing the Mad Stuntman (Positiva), The Outhere Brothers (Stealth) andCrystal Waters (Mercury). With the exception of Waters, these American actshave reached heights of success here in Europe not even dreamed of hack intheir home country, where dance music has an extremely tough time competingwith R&B, rap and country music.

Meanwhile German acts Jam & Spoon (Dance Pool), Snap (Ariola),Marusha (Low Spirit/Motor), Enigma (Virgin), Magic Affair (Electrola),Maxx (Blow Up), Culture Beat (Dance Pool), Haddaway (Coconut), LaBouche (Far Music/Ariola) and Captain Hollywood Project (Blow Up/Inter;cord), Swedish acts Ace Of Base (Mega), Corona (DWA), Rednex (Zomba)and Dr. Alban (Cheiron), Dutch acts Doop (Clubstitute/CNR), 2 Unlimited(Byte), and Twenty 4 Seven (CNR), Italian acts Whigfield (X -Energy), Cap-pella (Media), Mo-Do (Plastica/ZYX) and Ice MC (DWA) and Swiss act DJ Bobo(Fresh) have also charted high and demonstrated the variety and vigour of conti-nental Europe's dance talent.

In the last issue of Music & Media, the Top 10 charts of the various Europeancountries contained anywhere from 15 to 20 dance numbers, a majority percent-age of these being continental European acts.

All this activity guarantees to bring about an abundance of dance action atMIDEM this year. The two official dance events during MIDEM will be the DutchDance Night on Monday, January 30 at the Palm Beach including performancesby WARP 9, Atlantic Ocean, T -Spoon, Doop, Twenty 4 Seven, Jaydee,Qu27ar, The Dream Team and DJs Ardy Beesemer, Ronald Molendijk andDimitri and MIDEMMotion on Tuesday, January 31 at La Palestre.with perfor-mances by Magic Affair, Maxx, Captain Hollywood, Corona and Whigfield,among others. Several unofficial parties will take place including Belgian labelKK Records Night on Thursday 2 February at Discotheque Le Blitz with Aus-tralian act Zen Paradox, German act Lassique Bendthaus and Dutch act Psy-chick Warriors Ov Gaia.

Opportunities GaloreIncreased attendance by dance companies, a rise in the number of companieswho are expanding into dance music, and more majors with established dancedepartments all contribute to the boosted number of dance participants atMIDEM in the past few years. The networking possibilities of MIDEM haveundoubtedly strengthened for the dance industry recently. Some conference -goers are building new networks of contacts and others are solidifying them.

Franck Decoudon, GM of Airplay/Panic Records in France states firmly thatit is possible to make new contacts and find and sign material on the spot atMIDEM. In his past few visits, he has made deals for Double You's hit PleaseDon't Go with DWA and Whigfield's Saturday Night with Italy's Energy Produc-tions.

"MIDEM has improved over the last two years for making contacts and con-nections, and there is nowhere else to go yet," comments Jan Ekholm, generalmanager of Swedish label Clubvision. "It's not so much making a deal on thespot, it's more making contacts which develop into business in the coming year

or closing a deal which has been developing." He emphasises the importance ofhaving a good network of contacts who you can trust'to promote your musicproperly. He credits London and XL Records in the UK, Happy Music in Franceand BMG in Scandinavia for helping build the various successes of some Clubvi-sion acts such as Donna Giles, House Of Virginism and Diva Convention.

Jean-Louis Roche of Ram Dam Factory in France credits MIDEM and Pop-Komm as the best opportunities to make contacts. Previously a dance label ofEast West, Ram Dam has connected with partners such as Pitch Control in Swe-den, Intercord in Germany, Futuretel in North America and others from Argenti-na and the Czech Republic during these conventions.

Gianfranco Bortolotti, MD and executive producer of Media Records,arguably Italy's largest and best-known dance label, is attending the conferencefor the eighth year running and is one of the few independent industry memberswho only needs to firm up his network, rather than expand it. "For me, theimportance of MIDEM is that I have thet chance to meet with my contacts face toface," Bortolotti explains. "We already have a very strong international network."Media Records' licensing partners for some of their acts Cappella, Clubhouseand the 49'ers, among others, have included ZYX in Germany, the Benelux andthe US, ffrr, PWL, A&M and Media UK in England, K -Tel in Scandinavia, EMI inFrance and Max Music in Spain.

Jorg Hacker, A&R director at Intercord/Blow Up, sees no real need for fmd-ing material at MIDEM. "Most of the main labels send us their material weekly.We have contacts for hot product and no real lack of good product." Blow Up iscurrently scoring internationally with E-rotic's Max Don't Have Sex With YourEx and Interactiv's Forever Young and have new releases from Captain Holly-wood Project and Dance 2 Trance, among others. Having been bought last yearby EMI, Intercord's primary goal at MIDEM this year will be meeting its newinternational EMI partners. 'We're also very busy with our distribution network,"says Hacker. "Everything which EMI does not release domestically, we canimport, and this is thousands of titles, from jazz to country."

Dutch record company CNR Records, which has enjoyed international suc-cess with Doop, Twenty 4 Seven and 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor, amongothers, will also be present at MIDEM. CNR already has offices in Holland, theUK, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, France, Spain, Germany and Italy and is expect-ing to open soon in Finland, Poland and Portugal. According to vice presidentRobin Simonse, CNR's target for 1995 is "to sign a few local acts from each ter-ritory, Italy, Spain, etc, and first break them in their domestic market. Then, witha strong European network, each act can get the proper attention per country."

Finding TalentThe international search for new songs and talent has widened to cover theentire European continent. Simonse asserts that "it doesn't matterwhere themusic comes from; good records are coming from all different countries andcompanies are daring to think more internationally." Decoudon confirms, "Wework with everybody, everywhere. Good music comes from all over and we areopen to all kinds of music-cool, up -tempo, groovy..." And Bortolotti adds, "Cul-

M& M SPOTLIGHT DANCE MUSIC

(continued from page 18)ture in Europe is not so different in the north, south, east or west. I judge newsongs very much on my personal opinion."

The great success and incomparable popularity of dance music has resulted ina burgeoning industry where productions often come a dime adozen; and it is not necessarily the costly or more refined pro-ductions that break into the Top 10. Dance has gone extremelypop in Holland, for instance, where a Smurfs take -off version of2 Unlimited's No Limit entered the Mega Top 50 chart at num-ber 8 last week and this week took over the number 1 position.

Beate Geibel, creative director of Songs Of Logic, workswith a spectrum of acts from trance techno act Cosmic Babyto pop dance act the Sparks, andfeels that the general quality of muchof today's dance productions is poor."It can't be worse than Mo-Do, it can'tget lower than this," she asserts. "It'seasy to make music with computers.How you work with your computer iswhat counts. It has to be fresh; a lotof the Eurodance sounds like what wewere doing four years ago with Snapand Rhythm Is A Dancer." She findsnew music "from all over: clubs,friends of friends, publishers, labels,you just never know, you have tohave your ears open at all times."

"There are many more dance com-panies at MIDEM," Bortolotti states,"but now that too many people areworking in dance, the quality level

has gone down." He trusts his contacts who "knowquality levels" to supply him with strong material andlicense the best productions from Media Records.

Tim Fielding, head of the UK labels Brainiak andMusic Unites, is interested in licensing tracks for aseries of dance compilations mixed by prominent UKand Continental DJs. There are nine Journey By DJ

CDs including mix -CDs by UK legends Paul Oakenfold and Danny Ramplingas well as Continental champions like Amsterdam's Dimitri. According to Field-ing, the DJs have complete artistic freedom in the choice of tracks used. Howev-er, he reckons that on average, 25% of the material on the compilations are newtracks especially licensed for this specific production. The latest release in theseries is Journeys Into Jungle, mixed live by DJ Trace at Berlin's E-Werk Club.At present, the "Journeys" series is licensed for release in the GSA region to Inter -cord. Fielding attends MIDEM open for offers from other regions.

Decoudon covers all bases to find new talent, "We meet a lot of people byhaving a stand at MIDEM. We go into DJ shops and clubs in different countries tohear what's new. We buy the important international dance magazines fromacross Europe: Germany, Italy, Holland... We also follow Music & Media's 'Short

Grooves' and 'New Talent' sections, but what'sin the Music & Media charts is usually alreadysigned. We check the local dance charts."

Simonse explains the CNR approach is to"sign young producers, develop young talentand bring them in contact with older experi-enced producers. The producers in their 20scan use thF influence of those in their 30s andvice versa."

Twenty 4 Seven

Building/Exploiting TalentThe finding of the talent is just the beginning."What's exciting about publishing," explainsSongs Of Logic's Geibel, "is that you can be thefirst person to discover talent and help it, buildit up, emphasise hooklines, good songwritingand real singers. You have to also be a sort ofmanager, get good remixing jobs for produc-ers, and help them grow."

The emphasis in dance music is still onspeed, not necessarily the BPM's, rather thespeed at which companies move on getting apotential hit out. Songs of Logic has a world-wide deal with Warner Chappell, and Geibel isvery involved in getting the licensing deals in

(continued from page 20)the various countries with the strongest partners. These, according to Beate, are"the people you trust, the people you know will really work a record. You musthave a good indie network, majors generally don't work it fast enough. You haveto be quick. Majors sometimes have an exploitation period of up to six months,but that's much too long."

The general rule for these companies is to move quickly because dance musicchanges so quickly, but in saying so, it must also be realised that hit records aresometimes ahead of their time. It may take just the right mix or maybe a fewyears time before the market will get interested in a great song. Songs of Logic,for instance, made a deal three years ago for Baby D's Let Me Be Your Fantasy,released it on Logic Records and sold 500 copies. Airplay/Panic made a deal forWhigfield's Saturday Night two years ago, only to sell 600 copies in France. N-Trance's Set You Free, which appeared in this writer's 1993 year-end Top 20 listfor Music & Media, is now, in 1995, the number three record in England's Top40 chart.

Across Europe, the promotional route of a record on its way to success variesper country, but an initial mailing to key DJs in clubs and radio usually gets thehype going. Without one or the other of these two outlets, a record has littlechance of wide commercial success. Retail and video outlets usually fall into linenext. In France, Decoudon credits airplay on EHR Paris -based NRJ with helpingsales of Whigfield single to reach more than 120.000 CD singles. Hacker com-ments that E-rotic's Max Don't Have Sex With Your Ex had sold approximately13.000 copies before German music station Viva chose to programme theaccompanying cartoon video. With this video station's strong reach into the 9-13year -old consumer group, the song soon after reached gold status.

Compilations CDs have also become a central outlet forexploiting songs and reaching the consumer masses acrossEurope. This has become a strength of many indie companies.Airplay/Panic releases one of the most popular dance compila-tion series in France: the Dance Machine. The first four vol-umes sold on average 400.000 units. Volume 5, released January20, looks to sell a solid 450.000 copies with an array of hittracks from Reel 2 Real, 2 In A Room, Whigfield, Cappella, Juli-et Dunn, Ice MC, Dr. Alban and EGMA.

Concerns for the future success of dance music include artistdevelopment and album quality. Although dance music consti-tuted more than 50% of Music & Media's year end Eurochart Hot100 Singles Sales chart, this genre can be credited for no morethan 15% of the albums sales chart. This will be a focus pointfor many dance companies in 1995 which are looking to devel-op their artists further and get past the singles hurdle and allowthem to enjoy the album success which has brought 2 Unlimit-ed, The Prodigy and M -People CDs into households acrossEurope.

What The Future HoldsSongs Of Logic's Geibel feels that Eurodance is out and that,from the rubble of the dying Frankfurt scene, "a new birth ofdance music will happen. There is change in the air." AtMIDEM, she will be shopping the Microbots (Sony)-technowhich lies between underground and commercial withmelodies and good lyrics," Cheiron (Edel)-"snap-ish, faster 80'spop, modern techno," and College Club (BMG)-"cute teen -ori-

DANCE MUSICented pop reggae," among others. Overall she predicts more "nice melodies,good compositions, real songs and real vocals" and that "jungle will not workunless it crosses into pop."

Airplay/Panic Records Decoudon puts his faith in "new R&B groovy tracksfrom Sonic Surfers, Juliet Dunn and Tenere, plus the Eve Gallagher singlefrom Boy George's label More Protein. In France, I don'tthink jungle, rave, hardcore and techno will [take off] , maybewith the exception of one title, nobody knows. People need asong, a commercial track even if it's more funky or groovy. Tobe played on the networks, you need a song and not just aboom boom or a whistle." Having recently opened their ownrecording studio, Room Service, Airplay/Panic will have moreproductions this year and is in search of good licensing part-ners.

Clubvision's Ekholm has enjoyed success with warm, soul-ful, happy house productions from one of Europe's top pro-ducers, Stonebridge, and fellow Swe3mix creative mind, NickNice. He predicts that "dance music will slow down. Goodvocal tunes with rougher productions will prevail. Europoptechno house has peaked. Good tunes, down in tempo, EuroR&B house will rise." His contributions come in the form ofSTABBBS, Diva Convention and Donna Giles who are allreleasing new singles in the coming weeks, and House of Vir-ginism and Clubland whose new singles will be followed byalbum releases in the spring.

Intercord's Hacker says the future is "music for kids. Tech -

no, breakbeat, acid jazz: kids just want to be entertained.Dance is like rock 'n' roll, you won't kill it. There's dance andthere's rock." Blow Up's focus is on German homegrowndance talent and roughly 80% of their new releases come fromGerman production teams. Hacker will have a 16 -track promosampler CD at MIDEM consisting of current hits, as well aswhat he hopes are future hits.

Ram Dam's Rouche sees much on the horizon-Eurotechno, easy melody, nottoo underground, plus funk and rap. Ram Dam will release Eurodance-garagefrom CJ Wilson, and two Italian productions from TH-Express and Echobasswithin days. A second label called Rap Dam Records has just been set-up to get"g -funk, rap and cool ragga" going in the French market, while its third companySniper Promotions will be promoting numerous acts including Da Brat andNosse featuring Menelik.

Media's Bortolotti sees a bright future. "We are pushing a new Media sound, akind of techno influenced by jungle. Cappella and all our upcoming product willbe influenced by this sound. Look for Clubhouse, 49'ers and pure Italian junglefrom MIG 29." Expanding the success of Italian dance music is just one of hismany goals for the future. "The US is a future target; we will break there in time.In five or 10 years everything will have changed."

CNR's Simonse has also been dealing with the US for many years now andcomments that "suddenly, the US companies are licensees of music. It had beenthe other way around for so many years." He sees the US opening up to Euro-pean acts like Corona, Ace Of Base and now MC Sar and expects to see moresuccess for European acts in the future. CNR acts Doop, Twenty 4 Seven and 2Brothers On The 4th Floor, who all have new singles out, should be able to usetheir European success as a springboard for breaking across the ocean. Simonseexpects more diversity in dance music and an even wider array of countries pro-ducing quality dance music. A greater role for ambient music and new chances

for it to crossover is also a possibility, accordingto Simonse.

All in all, the future of European dance musicwill spin on its ability to keep itself fresh. Dancehas already reached pop heights of successbeyond compare. A Smurf cover of 2 Unlimitedand a sex -oriented cartoon video of E-rotic attestto the extreme popularity of youth -targeted danceitems. Anyone who knows a 10 -year old Europeankid knows the penetration level of dance compi-lation CDs. If Eurodance is "pop," then "alterna-tive" could be the electronic dance -influencedmusic of acts like Orbital, Speedy J and FutureSound Of London which are attracting a widen-ing audience. This is a genre building in strengthand will soon have to be more seriously reckonedwith. European dance music is maturing as it set-tles into its second half -decade of commercialpopularity. Exposure is up. MTV is programmingdance remix videos. Energy injections are comingfrom all countries in all styles, from ambient toR&B to gabber. After a cleaning out process ofexcess, dance music-from pop to alternative-should develop further and solidify its hold on theinternational market.

M& M SPOTLIGHT CELTIC MUSIC

Beyond The PaleAlthough "A Woman's Heart" is the most prominent recent

success in the wide spectrum of Celtic music, and TheChieftans' "The Long Black Veil" seemingly its

consecration, the Celtic connection goes far beyond theisland borders of Ireland.

by Terry Berne

ERITAGE DES CELTES, the new album from Bretton guitarist DanAr Braz, features musicians from Brittany, Ireland, Wales and Scot-land. Lacking only a representative from Spain's north-westernprovince of Galicia, it is a truly pan -Celtic soundscape of pipes, drums,flutes, fiddles, guitars and voices, fused with rock and pop elements inthe manner of Bretton folk-rock pioneer Alan Stivell with whom Ar

Braz used to play. Apart from its flawless melding of distinct idioms within the largertradition which links them, the album makes a timely statement of both solidarity andopenness. Timely because Celtic music is enjoying what some see as a revival (and what

others call overdue appreciation). And open because revivals, howev-

C.)

er ephemeral, are usually occasions for innovation, exchange and theshattering of borders. Both recent releases and recent successes fromall the Celtic territories confirm that assessment.

Scotland has been at the forefront of Celtic music's expansion anddiffusion since the very beginnings of the folk revival of the '60s,with groups like the Incredible String Band and Pentangle (whocontinue to record) and whose early albums still sell to this day. Scot-tish band Runrig introduced Gaelic to rock. Later formations such asOssian and Silly Wizard, both now sadly disbanded, furthered theevolution of the music with added energy and virtuosity. Today,bands like the Tannahill Weavers, Cappercaillie and the BattlefieldBand are known far beyond the borders of Celtdom, and the daringduet Mouth Music has adapted Gaelic to techno rhythms and Africanpop.

As Temple Records president Robin Morton points out, "Youcan get faster from Dublin to New York now than you can get fromDublin to Dingle. That's the nature of the global village." And oneeffect of that paradox is that the label boasts two of the finest harpistsin the Celtic world, one of whom-Alison Kinnaird-is Scottish andthe other-Ann Heymann-who is American. The former is also amember of the highly respected ensemble Mac-Talla, which consti-tutes a sort of Gaelic super -group. Morton, whose label counts anextensive catalogue of Gaelic artists, including the popular BattlefieldBand and singer/songwriter Jim Hunter, cautions that there is a dan-ger in becoming complacent about the music's current popularity. "It'svery easy to become dependent on the benefits of momentary success.

There's danger there as well as opportunity. We have to be prepared for when it tapersoff, as it almost certainly will," he cautions.

Dave Bulmer, MD of Celtic Music, is also somewhat skeptical of all the attention."It's at least partly a media phenomenon," he says. "CD penetration for our audience hasonly recently caught up with that of pop audiences. And though more artists are releas-ing material, the result is that sales are actually spread thinner than they were a few yearsago. We actually had larger sales per release before the so-called revival."

The label, really a family of labels, features such artists as pipers Kathryn Tickelland Liam O'Flynn (formerly of seminal Irish band Planxty) and veteran singer/song-s% riter Dick Gaughan's new eight -piece band Clan Alba. One interesting developmentis the sale of CDs at concert venues, which has increased to the point where now a goodpercentage of sales take place outside the regular retail and distribution networks. Healso points out that any increased sales are a result of hard work by artists on the road.-Germany, for instance," he explains, "has a massive interest in Celtic music. That inter-est has been both catered to and developed by years of groups touring there and playingat festivals. There is a Scottish tour there now."

Another interesting Celtic experiment with a Scottish imprimatur originated in Brazilof all places, where composer Paul Mounsey has taken samples of various Celtic musi-cal elements and combined them with Brazilian rhythms and synthesizer work. Thiscomes via Glasgow's Iona Records, founded by the long defunct but still influentialgroup Ossian.

Although they are relatively new to the arena, Grapevine are already major playerson the Celtic scene, from their involvement with the two A Woman's Heart albums totheir long-term contracts with Mary Black, Sharon Shannon and Christy Moore. "Wetake a more ambitious view of the music than is usually accorded it," claims co-founderSteve Fernie. "We use the marketing tools a mainstream company would for a main-stream artist. In the three years we've been working with Mary Black for instance, we'vesold some 300.000 albums. But we've spent about 1re£350.000 on various campaigns."

He believes there's a move within the industry as a whole to investing in artists thatpromise a long shelf life, whose catalogues will continue'sto sell for years. This is anadvantage smaller companies have over the majors who have difficulties supportinglower but steadier sales. He also sees a major fragmenting of the market, as consumerstastes diversify at the same time that a bigger variety of music is available to them. Sothere's more room for marginal styles like Celtic music.

France's Fulfilling RoleAlan Stivell is not only Brittany's best known musician, but one of Celtic music's mod-ern pioneers and popularisers. France's Dreyfus Music signed Stivell in 1987, and sincethen has managed to unite his entire back catalogue from various sources, consisting ofsome 17 albums. His 1993 re-recording of past hits for them, Again, which featured noless than Shane McGowan (formerly of the Pogues) as well as Kate Bush, sold over100.000 units in France alone, and served not only to breathe new life into his owncareer, but to remind an audience hungry for new sounds of the riches to be found intheir own back yards. The stimulus given Celtic music has continued to bear fruit, asprojects such as Stone Age and Dao Dezi attest. Stivell's own new album, produced byveteran Martin Meissonnier and as yet untitled, will be released this spring.

Stone Age and Dao Dezi: two very different albums with one common thread: Celtic,specifically Bretton, foun-dations. Stone Age, releasedin most of Europe in latesummer and early fall of'94, utilises lush electronicsas a base for sampled Celticinstrumentation and vocalmelodies set to technobeats. Not rigorous in itsCeltic evocations, rock andpop elements often predom-inate, but its best momentsare without doubt thosewith the most Gaelic colour,as in the single Zo Laret.Sony is taking great care inpromoting the project, per-haps in view of the successit had with 1993's DeepForest, a worldwide hit andsimilar in nature to StoneAge, if not its direct inspira-tion.

Dao Dezi, whose WorldMix album on EMI wasreleased internationally onJanuary 23, is in fact anundertaking by two of theparticipants of Deep Forest,composer Eric Mouquetand producer Guilain

Joncheray. The disc features contributions by several well-known Bretton artists,including the band Tri-Yann and singer Denez Prigent. This time out all vocals wererecorded as performed, and the music was created in conjunction with the artists them-selves. The result is an elaborate setting for the haunting vocals, piping and often march -like rhythms of the Bretton musicians. The first single, Ti Eliz Iza, featuring the trulyextraordinary vocals of Prigent, has been released in a number of formats and mixes,including a Love Palace mix by Tim Gordine. This album is more evidence of Celticmusic's flexibility and relevance.

Several small companies specialise in Brittany's rich traditional music. KeltiaMusique's 1992 release An Den Kozh Dall by the band Barzaz elicited critical raves,and the region's foremost pipe band Bagad Kemper also issues work for the label. Someof the more interesting explorations of Celtic themes were recorded for Coop Breizh bythe group Gwerz. Breizh GM Jann Goasdoue affirms that the market for his artists isbigger than ever. Other important artists from Brittany include Gabriel Yacoub and thewonderful band Kornog, both of whom record for Green Linnet.

Celts And BullfightsSpain is the great unknown of the Celtic world, despite the praise people like the Chief -tan's Paddy Moloney have for Galicia (see accompanying article). But that is beginningto change, as Spain itself becomes more aware of its Celtic heritage. Celtic imports suchas Loreena McKennitt, Nightnoise and Cappercaillie find in Spain one of their bestContinental markets, and specialised outlets like Barcelona's Merlin provide an exten-sive range of Celtic product, both local and international. Popular Radio NacionalEspana producer Ramon Trecet's daily programme "Dialogos" is one of Europe's mostimportant for introducing hard -to -categorise music to new audiences, and was namedtime and again by record companies as a significant force in the music's dissemination.

Shamrocks And BagpipesThe wandering romantic spirit of the Celtic races has

managed, through the centuries, to create a globaldiaspora of dreamers. Famine, adventure and

missionary zeal may be numbered among their motivesbut their legacy is often left in the cultural traces of their

music: mystical, magical, melodic and infused with anindefatigable joie de vivre.

C.)

ADDY MOLONEY of the Chieftains remembers growing up inDublin in the '40s. "There were only a handful of pipers left. Themusic was there in the homes but there was a great fear it would die."

Nowadays there is no such fear. Far from it. Ireland's Chieftain'smay have been at the forefront of the revival, struggling gamely asthe solitary ambassadors of a music they believed belonged to every-one, but today Celtic folk music thrives, everywhere.

It has stayed alive in Galicia, Brittany, Scotland, Newfoundland,French Canada and Ireland. "We were invited once to a Celtic club inHobart in Tasmania and we were amazed to find not one but between30 and 40 musicians of the highest standard playing fiddles, pipes,bozoukis, mandolins and tin whistles," recalls the veteran Moloney.

In their 32 years on the road the Chieftains have released 32albums. Their latest, The Long BlackVeil, released in late January, fea-tures collaborations with everyonefrom the Rolling Stones to SineadO'Connor, Ry Cooder, MarkKnopfler and Van Morrison.

The tireless Moloney has furthercollaborations up his sleeve includ-ing an album of Galician music fea-turing one of Galicia's best knownyoung pipers, Carlos Munez, whotoured America with the Chieftainsin 1994 and even played on-stage atCarnegie Hall with the Who.

"We've been playing consistentlyin Galicia now for over 20 years."says Moloney, "and of all the Celticcountries, I believe their music isclosest to ours."

The revival of traditional music in Ireland camethrough the efforts of Sean O'Riada and the introduc-tion of the music to the Irish radio service. Formal com-petitions in the music also helped foster an interestamong younger people.

Ironically, though, it was the "return" of the musicfrom the millions of emigrants who fled the famine in Ireland in thecontributed most to its preservation.

These days the glass case has been shed and the music is no longer a fragile flowerbut a thriving tree with sturdy roots.

Folk singers like Christy Moore, signed to Sony, have achieved enormous interna-tional stature while Irish instrumentalists like Sharon Shannon (Solid/Grapevine) andDavy Spillane (Sony) have stretched the musical parameters of the music into the

19th century that

"world music" arena.One of Ireland's top folk groups, Altan, who hail from the same Gaelic speaking dis-

trict of Ireland as Clannad, are signed to an American based folk label, Green Linnet,which was set up to disseminate Celtic music after owner Wendy Newton paid a visit toIreland in the '70s and fell in love with the music.

Green Linnet includes a variety of Irish and Scottish solo artists (Andy M Stewart,Martin Hayes, Eileen Ivers) and American -based groups (Cherish The Ladies, OpenHouse) on its roster and has recently added Cuban singer Lazaro Ros, Galician groupMilladoira, Breton guitarist Dan Ar Brag and Breton group Kornog to its newXenophile world music label.

The growing acceptance of Celtic music through the dissemination of "world music"and the new eclecticism has created a situation where anything goes. American folklabel Rykodiscs recently signed Irish singer Sean Tyrell and have licenced his self -released Cry Of A Dreamer album for release in the US.

Albums by artists like Sharon Shann9n and Altan are no longer confined to the folksection only when it comes to honourable media mention. Altan's Island Angel made thetop 50 albums of 1993 in the prestigious Q magazine.

It's The Real WorldThe first traditional Irish record on Peter Gabriel's Real World label was a recordedmusic session in a west of Ireland pub owned by Chieftains flautist, Matt Mulloy. Sincethen Van Morrison and former Clannad member Pol Brennan have turned up on thesame label; the former in collaboration with New York -based gospel and blues singersthe Holmes Brothers and the latter with Chinese classical flautist Guo Yue and Japan-ese percussionist Joji Hirota. The three later formed the group Trisan and released analbum together on Real World.

Major international labels based in Ireland, shaken by the unprecedented success ofthe two compilation albums, A Woman's Heart I and II (over 300.000 copies sold) on thetiny Dublin -based Dara Record label, have wised up to the commercial clout of folkand traditional music. EMI's response has been It Started On The Late Late Show, a col-

lection of performances by everyone fromClannad to Christy Moore and Celtic Graces,a collection of Irish traditional music past andpresent on its Hemisphere world music label,which has just been released worldwide inover 50 countries. Says Gerald Seligman,general manager, "While we expected this tobe the most popular of the series, we were sur-prised by just how much so. It's a very earthyand at the same time almost spiritual musicthat seems to reach people regardless ofwhether or not they have any links to these tra-ditions." BMG Ariola Munich also has itsIrish compilation, part of the Music Worldseries which will be released on St. Patrick'sDay.

For years the flag of traditional Irish musichas been flown by Irish -based labels like GaelLinn dedicated to the preservation of themusic. "Nowadays," according to Gael Linn'sproduct manager Brian Adams, "Irish labelslike Tara, Dara, Claddah, Hummingbird,Cross Border Media, Dolphin and Starchave come to grips with the mechanics ofexporting and pooling their resources. We dis-

tribute their music in Ireland and some of them distribute for us abroad."The success of the chanting Spanish monks who scored such a massive worldwide hit

last year with the Canto Gregoriano album has been repeated on a smaller scale by theMonks of Glenstall Abbey in Co Tipperary, Ireland while the ghostly, ethereal choralharmonies of Anuna have begun to spread beyond Irish shores.

markets for Irish traditional artists," says Gael Linn's Adams, "and Germany is Gaelicmusic's second European market after Ireland witness the popularity a group like theKelly Family are enjoying in Germany and Austria where they have sold well over amillion copies of their album Over The Hump since its release in September. But thereare new and surprising markets opening up. Donegal singer Mairead Ni Dhomhnaillhas become quite a star in Spain and Portugal ever since her last solo album on GaelLinn found its way onto Portuguese radio," says Gael Linn's Adams. When Harry'sGame, a Clannad tune written for a BBC TV crime thriller series was used as back-ground on an American TV commercial to launch the new VW Passat, Volkswagen'sphones were jammed with requests for information about not the car but the music. Asubsequent Greatest Hits release on Atlantic went on to become the Irish family group'sfirst million selling album.

Enya, another former member of the Clannad family, has become a solo artist ofglobal stature with her multi -layered music that draws liberally from the Celtic traditionin which she grew up. Her debut solo album Watermark and the follow up ShepherdMoons (East West) have become two of the biggest selling "new age" albums of all time.

For Paddy Moloney, the results of his 32 years of labour lay spread before him.Recalling his days spent visiting Brittany in the early '60s for the Celtic Congress andcasting forward to last year's Great Music Experience in Japan when they shared a stagewith Bob Dylan, INXS, Ry Cooder and 200 chanting Buddhist monks, he says, "It'sthere all the time, somewhere just beneath the surface, you'll find common ground in allfolk music."

"Celtic music is definitely on an upward curve, particularly in America," says TaraRecords' John Cooke, "where the success of Enya and Clannad in the past couple ofyears has had a spin off effect for other Celtic artists."

Cooke, whose company has always specialised in the export of Irish traditional andfolk music, describes the European interest in Celtic music as pro-gressing on a "much steadier curve."

"We sell as many records in Brittany as we sell in Ireland," saysCooke, "and the market in Spain has increased significantly over thepast 12 months."

In Spain, uillean pipe player Liam O'Floinn has been enjoying anenormous surge of interest both for his work on the Shaun Davey -composed orchestral suite The Pilgrim and his own solo album, OutTo Another Side.

Davey's The Pilgrim was commissioned from L'Orient in Brittanyas a piece of music bringing the seven Celtic regions of Ireland, Scot-land, Isle of Man, Cornwall, Brittany, Wales and Galicia together andfeatures solo artists from each of those regions. The Pilgrim, Cookeobserves, has sold well in Brittany. Spain and Ireland.

But Why Celtic?Theories as to why Celtic music has enjoyed such a surge of populari-ty in recent years are as various as the labels and artists on sale.Increasing popularity and exposure to "world music" is one sugges-tion. "Mainstream music has not been particularly innovative andworld music interest is growing," says Tam's Cooke. The worldwidesuccess of other Irish "folk" artists like Enya, Clannad, the Chieftainsand Sharon Shannon are other factors.

In recent years small Irish labels have returned the focus of theirmarketing to Europe having concentrated their efforts on the huge

Irish emigrant population in America. Annual visits to MIDEM in the past two yearshave reaped dividends for small labels like Tara, Starc, Hummingbird and Dara.

Much of this participation has happened with subsidies from the Irish ExportBoard.

"We released Davy Spillane's first four solo albums," says Cooke. Now Spillane is aninternationally recognised "world music" artist on the Sony label.

Artists like Enya, Davy Spillane and Clannad, with traditional music roots, are nowgathered under a "new age" label which can preclude any prior cultural knowledge of themusic and makes it appealing outside the usual Celtic country land and open markets ofGermany and Scandinavia.

The biggest and by far the most successful Irish recording phenomenon of recentyears has been A Woman's Heart I and II, a compilation of music by a wide variety offemale Irish artists from the contemporary rock and folk singing of Mary Black and hersister Frances to Sinead O'Connor, traditional artists like Dolores Keane and SharonShannon, jazz and blues vocalist Mary Coughlan and US Grammy nominated countrysinger Maura O'Connell.

Joe O'Reilly, MD of the tiny Dara Records label that struck paydirt with the 300.000plus sales of A Woman's Heart says one of the advantages of increasing export sales is

the opportunity to record Irish artistswho wouldn't get the chance if exportmarkets hadn't opened for them.

"The success of the Mary Black,Frances Black and then A Woman'sHeart has opened markets for solo artistslike Mairtin O'Connor and the Trad AtHeart compilation which has soldsteadily since we released it. Now thatwe have the customers we can expandour product base," says O'Reilly.

"The most significant increases inour exports have come from Asia, par-ticularly Singapore and Taiwan, while inEurope Scandinavia has been tradition-ally strong and Spain is growing. Wehave a Spanish distributor, ArpaFolk,whom we picked up at MIDEM and they

have a very big Irish catalogue," observesO'Reilly. "We get requests from radio in different countries but a strong distributor ismost important." Ironically, Dara Records have no significant German exports, saysO'Reilly, an omission they intend to rectify this year.

Because of the special interest of their product, most of the small Irish labels tend towork directly through distributors rather than sub-licencing or licencing deals. Some,like American -based Green Linnet, maintain marketing offices in Ireland and Britain buthave a distribution deal with other companies, in Green Linnet's case with Pickwick inIreland and Germany.

"It works better that way because in Ireland I handle the marketing and publicitybecause many of the artists live here, work here and there is a more direct interest withradio and press," says Green Linnet's Amy Garvey from Dublin.

"The Irish record labels like our own Gael Linn, Claddagh, Tara, Dolphin, Humming-bird, Starc, CBM and Outlet are distributed by us in Ireland," says Gael Linn's Adams,"then Dara and Tara, who have more export expertise, handle our exports too."

Beyond The Pale (continued from page 24)

"A clear example of what airplay and persistent touring can do for a group is the popu-larity enjoyed in Spain by Windham Hill's Nightnoise, whom Trecet has supported foryears."

Madrid's Sonifolk label is most committed to preserving Spain's folk heritage in allits manifestations, including its Celt one. Its distribution wing, Arpafolk, has been theprinciple importer of Gaelic product for years, and has also recorded many of its mostimportant artists, such as the Galician groups Citania, Labanda and Matto Congrio.The latter features Carlos Nunez, considered by many to be the finest exponent of thegaita, or Galician bagpipe, similar to its Irish counterpart. The label also released a dou-ble CD collection of Celtic music called Celts, which included a mixture of SpanishCelts and their northern counterparts. Benito Lertxundi and the group Oskorri, both onthe Basque label Elkar, are both significant and have recorded many albums. AndGreen Linnet has recently picked up Milladoiro, perhaps the best known Galician groupof all.

But the group to focus most attention on Spain's Celtic tradition is Celtas Cortos,signed to DRO/Warner, whose fusion of their Celtic and Latin roots with rock havemade them one of the country's most popular acts, as well as a potentially successfulmusical export (see M&M Dec. 10, 1994). A kind of Spanish Pogues, they will bebringing their highly reputed live show to MIDEM (at the M&M co -organised BorderBreakers concert) following a German club tour in January.

Another group with certain celtic/folk elements is the uncategorisable Portuguesegroup Madredeus, whose 0 Espirito Da Paz has sold nearly 200.000 examples world-wide? As EMI Portugal marketing director Rui Ferreira argues, "People in the '90sare more open to new sounds. People are aware now more than ever about what's goingon in other parts of the world, and with pop -rock offering so little that is new or differ-ent, consumers are hungry for some authenticity, some purity."

M& M SPOTLIGHT EUROPEAN RADIO

An American PerspectiveSatellites have gone up, the Berlin Wall has come down, and Euro-

pean radio has been irrevocably changed all within the last five years.

It's a fascinating time for re-evaluating the accepted roles of many

international entities. America may have dominated the field of com-

mercial radio since the '20s, but it's worth another objective look to

see just what their function in today's Europe is.

by Chris Marlowe

MERICANS are certainly aware of the changes. Take ABC Radio Inter-national for example, which provides programming, programming ele-ments, technical, marketing, promotions and other expertise to more than3.400 radio stations around the world. "It's almost market by market," saysmanaging director David Haymore, "but if you try to generalise then we're

talking about independent, commercial radio becoming far more prevalent than it ever has inthe past. It's interesting, because it gives the listeners many more options to consider.

"Look at the UK, where recently for the first time in history an independent localradio station has the majority of the listenership in a marketplace where the BBC hasbeen the strongest player. I think we'll continue to see that be the trend, not only inthe UK but in other European markets. Finally the listener is going to have the oppor-tunity to have additional choices available to them, a variety of different types of pro-grammes, most of which will continue to be local but some of which may incorporateinternational elements like ABC or others."

Radio Express has a subtly different view from its perspective as the world'slargest distributor of radio programmes and services, a company that makes itsextensive catalogue including products, technical support, programming and comput-er software available to at least 110 countries in any given week. "I see more profes-sionalism coming into European radio all the time," says president and founder TomRounds. "But I think the freeing up of more frequencies is already a fait accompli asfar as Scandinavia and Germany are concerned. Eastern Europe is going to be volatilefor a while. There are going to be less stations on the air in Italy hopefully in the verynear future. But I don't see a whole lot of changes going down as far as frequencyallocation in Europe outside of the UK."

Format SpecificWhat Americans seem to generally agree on is that the fundamental changes in legis-lation and/or regulation have already taken place. They also mainly concede that whatcomes next will be some level of audience fragmentation. Bill Stolier, director ofinternational operations for globally renowned programme providers Westwood OneInternational, speaks for many when he says, "I think Europe will become a little moreformat -specific, even if it's just broad differentiations like all news or all talk or allgold. As more licenses are granted in each specific market it will have to, becauseeach station has to find their niche. It all has to do with competition, and competitionin the market is good for syndicators and programme suppliers."

The smaller programme suppliers feel the same way. Sound & Stations USA,whose best-known show is the European -produced countdown "The European Hit Survey," isequally prepared to meet this growing need. Vice president and general manager Daniel L.Springer enthuses, "The biggest change happening, which is wonderful, is that when sta-tions come into non -government hands there's a pervasive entrepreneurial spirit that imme-diately enters and they start looking for just about any way to improve and make it different.People at the NAB's first Montreux show thought that was the year thatradio was going to come full swing around with all the democratisationoccurring throughout Europe and licenses would come into private hands.That feeling of growth is beginning to turn into reality now."

Professionals in other areas also see fragmentation as both inevitableand as a business opportunity. Who Did That Music?, for example, creat-ed over 50 ID jingle packages along with about 400 high profile commer-cials for radio stations all over the world last year and it feels much thesame way as the programme suppliers. "The proliferation of commercialformats is quite exciting," says president Dain Blair. "It's quite a waysfrom getting to the point of saturation like it is in several markets-here inLA there's 88 signals!-but I do think that Europe is going to go from thereally broad formatted, appeal -to -everyone radio stations to becomingEHRs and ACEs and target their audiences a lot more narrowly."

Promotions people express similar high hopes for new business. Forexample, RMPC has carved out a unique place by devising and implement-ing travel related promotions such as Virgin Radio/London sending con-test winners to a Rolling Stones concert in the US and Europe 2/Parissending contest winners to the Knebworth Festival in England. "The firsttime I went to MIDEM was probably in 1986," recalls managing directorRobert Olshever, "and to even get the interest of a radio station was likepulling teeth. They had no idea what I was talking about, because there

Ro unds

Blair

Olshever

was not really the need for promotions since the majority of radio sta-tions then were government run or owned. Capital Radio and the othermega -stations didn't want to talk to you because they didn't have thecompetition. Within the last three years it has changed tremendously."

Research experts are also poised to provide their services to stationswith an increasing need to target niches. Paragon Research, whichexplains that its purpose is to step in where ratings companies leave offby providing the whys and wherefores of a radio audience, is one suchcompany. Speaking from its five years of European experience,Paragon's executive vice-president Chris Porter says, "There are a lot ofpeople who don't really see the need for research, or who make theassumption that if they have a good programming team then that's allthey need, or that the markets aren't sophisticated enough to warrant thebother. I think as things get trickier there will be more of a need for acompany like ours."

A Tough AudienceThere are some dissenters to this rosy optimism, however. As Roundsexplains, "There are probably almost as many stations in the US as thereare in the rest of the world put together. Stations here have had to bevery, very narrowly targeted in order to survive, so that kind of market is

a necessary evil. Because there are so far fewer stations percapita in Europe-except for Italy-stations can be muchbroader. There's lots of room for cross-pollination of ideas, dif-ferent styles of music, different kinds of presenters and soforth.

Not only does Rounds express worries about fragmentation, but his remarksalso raise the thorny question of cultural imperialism. Thankfully that concern isobviated by all successful companies these days. Too many Americans in the pastwent arrogantly swaggering in to European radio stations convinced that they hadall the answers, but successful companies knew how wrong that approach was.They realised that what the relative newcomers wanted was to be taught how to doit rather than be told what to do. As a result, Germany, the Scandinavian countriesand often Spain are now cited as being open to any company with somethingworthwhile to offer, while only France still mentioned as occasionally being resis-tant to approach.

The Benchmark Company, which conducts what it refers to as diagnostic audi-ence and music research projects for radio stations all over the world, demonstrat-ed these newly emerging principles when it worked with Skyrock in France to helpthat company design its own research. "Originally the American model was a conve-nient and easy model for European radio to use, and it was an appropriate one,"explains chief executive officer Robert Balon. "But you can't just take somethingfrom the States and put it part and parcel in Europe because of all the cultural dif-ferences that you can't account for. It's not just music. I mean, look at France -15years ago they didn't have any private radio. They didn't even have the equivalent ofa morning radio show until about four years ago, and we've had them since the late'50s. And now they've got a night-time talk show about sex manned by hookers!"

Programme providers such as Ken Webb, whose company produces the long -running internationally syndicated programme "Jazz From The City" as well as rep-resenting producers of other jazz, R&B and hip -hop niche material, seem to

encounter the most negativity. "I think Europeans sometimes look at US programming dis-missively," Webb explains, "but once they get past that bias and actually look at what we do,many stations have been very receptive to programme providers, consultants and other rep-resentatives of American radio.

"For example, stations might look at someone like America's shock jock Howard Stern

and just puke, but if you look at the other side and see how he does what he does, what themechanics are, then you can learn how to have a better morning show of your own. AndAmerican radio expertise can help do that. You can't learn how to make a rug by looking atthe front-you have to turn it over to see how the threads are woven together."

Its an ongoing process of mutual education, in other words. Blairillustrates, "When Antenna Bayern came to us and said, 'In addition tosome hot ACE cuts we need you to do some German schlager musiccuts,' we did a study on schlager music so that we'd know how to dothat. But some syndicators end up taking their shows and cuttingthem up and allowing some German or French or Spanish productioncompany to do their own language version of 'American Top 40' orwhatever. The Europeans are going to take the best of the US radioscene and the UK radio scene and condense it down into what's bestfor their own scene."

Teamwork achieves some of these same goals. "If you presentyourself as a partner wanting to work within the culture of the countryand be sensitive to their needs, I don't think it's really a problem,"Stolier asserts. "Where Westwood One has turned is in the direction ofco -production, utilising the company on the ground that knows thenuances of the culture to make a programme that's more designed forthe listeners in each market."

Stolier speaks from experience with both the newer and the more tra-ditional type of programme. "We of course have Casey Kasem, who isreally the 'King Of The Countdown' so to speak, and we've recently putout 'Country Countdown USA' and 'Country's Cutting Edge'," he details."But we're developing more programme services which are designed tobe flexible and efficient and cost-effective for the stations. We've done alot in terms of live concerts, such as the 'Coca-Cola Concert Series.' Andwe're very enthusiastic about 'E Radio', which is where we deliver to sta-tions 50 entertainment sound bites each week on CD in addition to adaily fax service with the latest breaking news. So it's not specifically a

programme-some stations may take that material and produce a daily or weekly feature orwhatever. We're also producing 'Pop Quotes' and 'Rock Quotes', which are short interviewsegments that you can programme into your daily routine. I think those service type of pro-gramme elements are more where we're trying to go."

Worldly ProgrammesRadio Express also feels that the future indicates more by way of supplying programme ele-ments rather than distributing syndicated programmes. It's new offering is 'The World ChartShow', which provides the same music, production elements and jingles to co -producerswho reproduce the programme using high profile talent native to each territory. "I learned atremendous amount in the last 25 years of distributing that programme in the US and aroundthe world," says Round. "We have identified a format called 'international hit radio', which issomething that is really says rounds bigger than the Anglo-American domination that's hap-pened with music in the world. There is one version of 'The World Chart Show' that's pro-duced in English, but probably 80% of the programme's reach will not be in English. Andwhat we're hoping to do with this programming system is that the affiliated stations will eachbe introducing a record that's happening in whatever their home territory is. You create thegenesis of a number of ideas in a central location, but then you figure out how to divide theminto their component parts, scatter them around the world, and make them come back to lifethrough other cultural ways of disseminating them."

ABC International's way of ensuring its continued participation in European developmentswas to acquire a third interest in the London -based Satellite Media Services, giving it anaddressable satellite delivery distribution system, and then to work with the prestigiousFinancial Times to create the London -produced "The Financial Times Business Report" thrice -daily programme. "We appreciate what it takes to be successful in radio," Haymore explains,'and radio is primarily a local medium. To the degree that we have programmes or pro-gramme elements out of the US that are relevant to European markets, we're happy to makethem available. But we also recognise that there are opportunities to discover programmingideas that have not been done that we can play a part in and create local programmes rele-vant to the marketplace, just like we did with the 'FT'." There's also plenty of opportunity forABCs presenting talent Rick Dees to raise his European profile even higher thanks to thisforward -looking enterprise.

RMPC for its part considers that in retrospect it was unnecessarily concerned about anti-American feelings. "We circumvented any potential negativity before it could become a factorby opening our UK office with UK people," Olshever says. "But it really has been a plus for us,because many people see America as the country of constant new ideas. Within the last threeyears advertisers have figured out how the numbers are going to be best used for thembased upon the reach that a radio station has in a given market that the advertiser's in. Thenext level is going to be, 'How are you going to merchandise that for me?' And we're ananswer. Resistance to us comes down to budgets, not nationalities."

Olshever is the first to admit that there are still cultural considerations to bear in mind,however. He laughs, "We were going to do a promotion in Nevis for Anheuser Busch's Bud-weiser beer. Well, the slang for the product is 'Bud', and the word 'bud' in that part of theCaribbean is slang for a particular part of the male anatomy."

Learning experiences are all being taken in stride on both sides, however, and no onedoubts that there will always be a place for American expertise in European radio.

1 think if we do it carefully, we have a permanent role to play," as Springer phrases it.'Americans obviously have the experience of an industry that is extremely successful. Wecan extract some of the factors that made it successful and offer them as ways to help radioin Europe become more successful." Balon puts a more specific spin on these conceptswhen he says, 1 think the role will be a very important one, but it won't be transmitting

American culture to Europe. It will be companies like ours helping the Europeans to betterserve their markets. For example, Americans are good at research. If I can show you how tobetter extract information from your audience, you're goingte be better off."

"I think they're going to turn more to companies such as ourselves who have been suc-cessful for years and who have a real handle on how to do it," Blair concurs. "We at Who DidThat Music? make suggestions and recommendations, for example, and we can get stationsthe most package for their money. We bring a very different, contemporary cutting edgeapproach to jingles, and here in L. A. we've got the deepest pool of talent in the world."

"Americans obviously have the experience of an industry that isextremely successful. We can extract some of these factors

and offer them as ways to help radio in Europe becomemore successful."

- Daniel Springer, Sound & Stations USA

Rounds takes this one step further. "Referring to American expertise is really kind of old-fashioned at this point," he insists. "Most big market successful radio stations are supportedby an infrastructure similar to what there here in terms of research, experts, and otherpeople who are really professional in their field whether they're on -air presenters or pro-gramme directors or music people or sales and marketing people or whatever. America real-ly stopped exporting expertise as such a long time ago. I think good, competent people whoreally know their stuff will find work anywhere, no matter where they're from."

Webb makes the further point that many European stations are entering the marketplacewith the absolute latest in equipment. "They won't have to plough through decades of techni-cal challenges and programming development," he says. "Europe could actually move rightpast us in terms of what they're capable of doing. But I can see where Europe can still usegood consulting in terms of audience -gaining programmes, audience measurement, sales,and all of those things that it takes time to develop. Even though they'll change what Ameri-cans offer, I think Europeans need to understand the unique rhythms of radio."

Radio For The PeopleDespite their varying ways of adapting to the changing and challenging European radio mar-ket, nearly all American professionals agree that the bottom line is the need for listening totheir audience whether the station is broadcasting in the private or even the public sector.Both types of stations are becoming more responsive to their listeners. "They have to,"Olshever says. "That's the nature of competition. Even the public stations are sensitive to itand becoming a little more commercialised in their positioning. Some of them are starting todo promotions now."

This is yet another way, perhaps one whose importance has been underestimated, inwhich European radio is changing. Porter illustrates the situation clearly when he says, "Ithink that historically you just kind of shoot big and hope that most people find it relativelyappealing. But as choices become greater and the formats more narrowly focused, I think it'simperative to stay tapped into shifting trends and the audiences that flow in and out withthose trends. I think the trend toward narrowcasting will undoubtedly affect-or infect!-just about any country that continues to hand out licenses. And as more and more licensesare handed out it becomes more challenging to be a broadcaster instead of a narrowcaster."

The United Kingdom is perceived as being particularly determined that its radio stationsmeet this challenge. As Haymore says, "The UK Radio Authority is somewhat attuned to whatthe potential is for commercial radio, but they do not want to see narrowcasting-they'rebroadcasters. But when you go from having little besides what the BBC has offered to havingadditional choice, I don't know that it's so much narrowcasting as it is having an ear for whatthe listener or consumer would like to have and then programming accordingly."

Pressed for further explanation, he admits, "I guess I would be suggesting that the BBC,without having had commercial competition, has in fact been able to programme for what itfeels the listening audience ought to have as opposed to what the listening audience wouldprefer to have."

"To look at the UK now, you can't help but think how ignorant the government used tobe," laughs Webb. "I mean, the BBC didn't want to change. But one day they woke up andrealised that all their listeners were gone. They understand ratings now. They understandcompetition now." Porter expresses similar feelings with rather more restraint. "The RadioAuthority in the UK only recognises a handful of possible radio formats-they don't see theshades of grey that would distinguish Top 40 from Hot ACE from Classic Rock ACE fromalternative rock," he explains. "So for example, you are now shut out from doing anythingthat might be labelled rock by some 65 -year -old man at the Radio Authority. It's frustratingwhen all of our research demonstrating the validity of a niche format gets compared to whatbroadcasters feel they can get away with politically."

With some strong disagreement, this is the generally prevailing American viewpoint. Theviews of the dissenters are expressed by Rounds when he says, "You can enlighten, enter-tain, inspire and educate an audience without asking it how to do it by doing a lot of circularresearch. It comes down to one person, the individual. I don't think committees figure this

out, nor do I think bureaucracies do. I think bureaucracies that are clever and wise enough tokeep their culture alive let people run with it, and then you're going to have good radio."

Whatever their differences of philosophy and detail may be, there's no doubt that USradio professionals have quickly adapted to enable them to play a part in European radio'srapid evolution. They've learned that co-operation, mutual education and cultural awarenessare all essential factors in being successful. Yet for all the analysis, Haymore sums the cur-rent situation up even more accurately when he says, "I think that we're on a constant trip toimprove what we have and to be better attuned to what markets want and need. At the sametime, European radio broadcasters are finding that they're becoming more sophisticated andbetter able to discern what is more relevant to listeners. And isn't that what this is all about?"

M& M REPOR POLISH PIRACY

Anti -Piracy Battle ContinuesNobody can dispute that the problem of piracy in Polandhas made a complete turnaround in the last year. Per-centages have plummeted from 95% to 22% in just twoyears. Yet 22% remains a high figure compared interna-tionally. Can Poland ever force these figures down towestern standards without having signed the RomeConvention? Mary Weller reports.

OOKING back twoyears ago, one wouldhave seen a Polandflooded with piracy;the local IFPI esti-mated that some-

where between 90-95% of soundcarri-ers were illegally printed. This was ofcourse unacceptable, and would have tobe changed if Poland wasto be taken seriously byother markets.

IFPI wasted no time. In1993, the first anti -piracyenforcement actions weretaken, including the issueof a standard hologram,printed to appear on alllegal recordings. Thepolice actions were basedon a copyright on thegraphic design for sound -carriers and a generalcriminal code productionagainst fraud.

By the end of the year, the effectscould already be seen. The level of pira-cy had made a significant decline to30% for local acts. Foreign works, how-ever, remained at a higher level, fallingsomewhere between 70-75%.

By the following year, IFPI wasready to play its trump card; after sev-eral drawn-out discussions betweenproducers and authors, a copyright lawwas established in May 1994. The lawintroduced neighbouring rights andcriminal sanctions against pirate activ-ities.

It was under this law that Polandwould see its most dramatic drop inpiracy rates. Today, less than half -a -year later, Poland can speak of piracypercentages ranging from 20-25%, anincredible drop from the year before.

Beyond The LawThe new legislation had a tremendouseffect on pirating practices in the coun-try, but IFPI Poland regional directorfor central and eastern Europe BiankaKortlan claims two other factors wereessential for a smooth transition.

The first was a media campaignsponsored by IFPI and the IFPI-recog-nised producers association ZPAV in1992. The purpose of this intense,nationwide campaign was to warn thepublic of the harm piracy causes andincrease awareness with enforcementagencies. Although there is no way tomeasure the specific effects of this cam-paign, Kortlan is convinced of its con-tribution towards the current situation."The campaign opened up the cus-

Slonina

tomer's eyes and portrayed piracy forwhat it is: an economic crime," shestates. "Today, retailers and whole-salers are refusing pirated musicbecause their public is demanding legalrecordings with the IFPI hologram.This has to be a result of the invisiblehand of the campaign."

The IFPUZPAV-supported hologramon legal recordings became a seal of

quality for several con-sumers. "Everyone wouldprefer to pay less for aproduct, but a lot of peoplenow see piracy as a meansof stealing from theirfavourite artists. It's likebuying a coat that is cheapbut you know is stolen. Itmakes you feel funny aboutit."

Another factor Kortlanbelieves contributed to thesuccess of anti -piracy cam-paigns was the significant-ly increased involvement of

the five major record companies in thePolish market over the past couple ofyears. "The majors were coming in asthe pirates were exiting. As soon as thepirates were gone, the legal productwas there to offer to the public."

She adds that although the increasein price from illegal to legal tapes issignificant (US$1 to US$2.50-4.50), thepublic doesn't seem altered by this fact.

Remaining ProblemsAlthough no one can deny the over-whelming improvement over the pastcouple of years, a 22% piracy rate isstill not to the level of western stan-dards. Observes Polish independentSoundpol MD Kajetan Slonina, "Pirat-ed cassettes have all but disappeared inthe main cities, and can't be found inmany shops, but as soon as you travelinto the country, you can buy whateveryou want, including pirated CDs.

"Some lawyers say the copyright isalright, while others say that piracy isstill allowed in the new copyright. Ithink we should wait for the first courtresults of some of the quarrels of pro-ducers in Poland to see what the court'sopinion is."

The biggest problem Soundpol'sSlonina sees with the current copyrightlaw is its lack of effectiveness on broad-casting. "If you turn on the radio, you'llhear Enia and Jimi Hendrix in com-mercials, and you know that nobodyhas paid for the rights. Radio and TVhave little knowledge of the new copy-right law and what it pertains to. Ofcourse there are clauses saying that

some musical collections are protected,but you have to convince the broadcast-ers of that. Officially we could takethem to court, but it's more importantfor us to stay on good terms."

IFPI's Kortlan admits that broad-casting royalties have remained unaf-fected by the new legislation, althoughthere is a clause covering this aspect."Basically at the moment, neither radionor TV are paying royalties for songsheard during a broadcast. The reasonfor this is that Poland has not issuedimplementing regulation, which in turnwould create collecting societies. Oncethat has taken place, Polish producerswill start collecting," she assures.

PolyGram head of internationalrepertoire Gregory Stabeusz also sees alot of improvement since the law waspassed, but is now facing differentproblems. "Before the new copyrightlaw was put into effect, every companymade pirate CDs. But now we havevery sophisticated pirate companieswhich hire lawyers or are good in lawthemselves. They know exactly what todo to get around certain clauses in thelaw and release pirate soundcarrierswithout having problems with thepolice."

"I consider the situationto be unsolved," adds pro-ducer/distributor Takt gen-eral director Jacek Jaglows-ki. "I admit that piracy hasgone down considerably inscale, but it is now wakingup again. The copyright lawcould have been writtenmuch tighter."

Until 1993, Takt was a"pirate" producer/distrib-uter itself. But for over ayear now, Takt's MC plantand warehouses have been100% legal. "Of course,there were no laws at the time whichmade it illegal," stresses Jaglowski."But even a year before the new copy-right law came into effect, we hadalready been talking to the IFPI aboutbecoming 'legal.' The decision cost us alot of money. If you compare capacity oflegal to pirated cassettes sold, it's prob-ably around one to 10. A lot of smallerpirates were very happy to see us crossthe line, and really profited from thesituation."

Rome ConventionFor the international companies,broadcasting royalties are the least oftheir worries. To this date, Poland hasnot signed the Rome Convention, anagreement protecting internationalrecordings within member countries.Without this document, national legis-lation can do very little to protect inter-national recordings within Poland.

Explains PolyGram's Stabeusz,"According to the recent copyright law,a title is protected if it is released inPoland as a first country. This meansthat if PolyGram has a simultaneousinternational release and Poland isincluded, it has the protection of a Pol-

Kortlan

ish title. But if we are too late we aregoing to have problems.

"This is bound to happen, unfortu-nately. For example, other Europeanmarkets often wait to release local actsEurope -wide until that act has becomea local success. This won't be solveduntil Poland signs the Rome Conven-tion."

In an attempt to compensate forinternational releases, the new legisla-tion protects products from internation-al companies with headquarters inPoland. The question remains, howev-er, how to define the term "headquar-ters."

Says Soundpol's Slonina, "Warner,for example, is represented in Poland,but lawyers can question if Warner'srepresentation here fulfills the term. Ifthey claim a 'headquarters' to be aplace managerial decisions are made-in this case, most decisions are made inLondon-a pirate wouldn't have muchdifficulty defending himself.

"All of this is a result of Poland notsigning the Rome Convention. If itwould, everything would be a lot clear-er. But in the meantime, no court iswilling to make a decision. Signing an

international agreementconcerns the entire coun-try, and no court wants totake on that responsibili-ty."

Kortlan says that sign-ing the Rome Conventionwould solve any lack ofclarity the national legis-lation may have on thistopic. "The new legislationis quite strong, but as anational document, it islimited in what it can pro-tect on an internationalbasis. It needs the RomeConvention before it can

come to balance."During discussions on new legisla-

tions, the Minister of Culture statedthat Poland would sign the Rome Con-vention shortly after the new copyrightlegislation was passed," adds Kortlan."Unfortunately, that never happened."

But there is hope. A Decembermeeting between IFPI, ZPAV and thecollecting society ZAIKS, resulted inpositive developments towards signingthe Rome Convention. "We all came tothe conclusion that it was to the mutu-al interest of authors and producersalike to exceed to the convention. Forthe first time we will be lobbyingtogether. Not all of our problems aresolved, but I think the market is on theroad to healthy relationships like indeveloped markets."

Although internationals may haveto wait a couple of years, the signing ofthe Rome Convention seems inevitable.Poland has signed associate agree-ments with the European Union whichobliges Poland to become a member ofthe Rome Convention before January 1,1997.

Next week's report will look atPoland's two private national stations.

Songs in "A" rotation airplay receive more points than those in "B" rotation or more limited airplay exposure.

Airplay Actionby Pieter Kops

Whereas this week's M&M showsoff a new design and re -styledcharts, the column whichspotlights the big movers and newartists in EHR playlists revives itsprevious name- Airplay Action-and puts on a new jacket. In thefirst issue of M&M's new look, we

see UK teen act East 17-after three consecutiveweeks of chart reign with Stay Another Day-forcedto make way for fellow countrymen the SimpleMinds, whose She's A River also brings them theirfirst EHR number 1.

She's A River is playlisted at a total of 96 stationsnow, including 17 first-time reports. Especially inBelgium, Germany and the UK, the record continuesto gain airplay. No less than 23 European countrieshave tuned in, the support being most impressive inFrance, Spain, Holland, Poland and the UK. InFrance and Spain, the song even qualifies as top-playlisted track of the week (see the newly installedMajor Market Airplay section, page 51).

This week's Radio Active award goes to Sting'sThis Cowboy Song, featuring rapper PatoBanton-one of the new songs on Sting's hitscompilation Fields Of Gold, but also included on thesoundtrack to "High Velocity." A 47 -station roster,spread out over 14 countries, is championing theEnglishman's new single, while 24 out of these arereporting it for the first time this week, earning itthe status of Most Added leader as well. Currently,This Cowboy Song makes the biggest progress inGermany, Italy, the UK, Norway, Belgium andIreland, while best penetration ratios are beingregistered in the UK (70%) and Russia (67%).

The highest new entry in this week's ERR Top 40is seized by Siouxsie & The Banshees. 0 Baby, thelead-off single from their new album The Rapture-their first album in more than three years-is one ofthe five tracks on it that were produced by JohnCale (the remainder of the set is self -produced). As amatter of fact, a cover version of the VelvetUnderground classic All Tomorrow's Parties (co-

written by the same Cale), was also recorded by theBanshees, but for a single's B-side that has yet toappear. 0 Baby enters the chart at number 22, with31 early believers at its side, including 18 adds. Itsroster is spread out over 14 countries, mostsignificantly Austria and Poland. In Poland, therecord even enters the airplay ranks straight atnumber 1 (see Major Market Airplay again).

On The Roadby Pieter Kops

Welcome to therevamped cross-over section.Formerly named

-' Regional Cross-overs, as with thisissue, the page isrenamed BorderBreakers. Named

Ten Sharp after the section'smain chart-and one of M&M's flagship chartsfor that matter-it ranks the mainlandEuropean records that receive the most airplayon European music radio outside the marketwhere the act is signed.

As you can see, the new make-up of this pageemphasises the importance that M&M attribut-es to the unique Border Breakers chart. In addi-tion, bullets are introduced as to highlight thosetitles that register a significant point gain, whilethe country of signing is listed for each act forthe first time as well. It should be noted, howev-er, that the country of signing might differ fromthe artist's nationality. Obviously, for chart pur-poses it is more revealing where an artist issigned than where he or she grew up.

Compiled on the basis of a weighted -scoringsystem, the chart ranks songs by points.Therefore, scoring the highest number of sta-tions does not always guarantee a number oneslot. This methodology is different to the wayM&M uses BDS information (see opposite page)where number of plays is decisive.

Furthermore, the number of stations listedrefers to crossover impact. This means that air-play achieved in the country of signing is exclud-ed from the calculations; only cross -bordermovement counts for the chart.

Over to the chart of this week. Dutch pop duoTen Sharp, who are so well -remembered fortheir worldwide 1991-'92 hit You, are back onthq market with After All The Love Has Gone.This Michiel Hoogenboezem/Niels Hermes -produced soulful, light -funky pop song is thetaster for their forthcoming third album Shop OfMemories, due out on February 13. The new sin-gle by the Dutch Columbia act recently was anM&M CD insert. Timing couldn't be better asthe new entry coincides with the duo's showcaseat MIDEM this week (January 31) at the NogaHilton.

So far only two other songs have entered theBorder Breakers chart as high as After All TheLove Has Gone -1993's Escucha Me by theGipsy Kings and 1994's Look Who's Talking byDr. Alban.

Apart from getting good airplay in homelandHolland, Ten Sharp's new song is playlisted innine foreign countries. It attracts the best sup-port in Poland (eight stations), Denmark (six)and Switzerland (four). In Germany, platinum -ranked Radio NRW/Oberhausen is pioneeringthe track, too.

The charts on this page track the border -crossing movement of prod-uct. The Border Breakers chart ranks the 25 most successfulContinental European records making airplay impact outside theircountry of signing (airplay achieved in the original country is exclud-ed from the calculations).

The second chart, Channel Crossovers, registers the airplay pen-etration of UK -signed artists in mainland Europe, while the third Top25, the Atlantic Crossover chart, ranks the most successful NorthAmerican artists according to airplay impact in Europe.

All three charts are non -format specific. "Country Of Signing" isnot necessarily an indication of where the artist comes from but,more significantly, where he/she is signed. An increasing number ofnational artists are signed to "foreign" labels and M&M wants toacknowledge the crossover impact of such deals.

For all artists appearing on this chart, the Country Of Signing is UK or Ireland.

MUSICFor all artists appearing on this chart, the Country Of Signing is US or Canada.
