The Future of Music

When music is discussed, the same words keep coming up:?“streaming”, “playlists”, “distribution”, “sampling”, “platforms”, “tech”. But does any of this change our elemental pleasure in making and listening to music? Laura Barton and Barney Hoskyns offer their thoughts.

Laura is a freelance music journalist, features writer and best-selling author. A go-to for all thing’s music, she regularly contributes to publications including the Guardian, the Observer, Q Magazine and The New York Times.

Rock historian Barney Hoskyns is the author of nine books and has written about music and pop culture for numerous publications including NME, The Times, the Guardian, Vogue and Mojo, of which he was Associate Editor.

Event chaired by Andy Miller.

Laura will also be DJing at 9:30pm in The Clearing (first floor, Folkestone Quarterhouse). Free to attend, no booking required.
