Minor To Major
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Sun., Jul 8, 2012
Robert Fripp was in London on Friday, one of the speakers at a panel discussing the current state in the music industry as it relates to the independent label sector.

Organised by AIM (the Association of Independent Music), the panel also included Martin Mills of Beggars, John Dyer of Domino, Peter Quicke of Ninja Tune.

Fripp spoke for around 20 minutes and, as can be seen from some of these tweets, evidently struck a chord with some of the conference’s participants.
