Explaining the A&R process from beginning to end

A discussion on A&R hosted by Mary Anne Hobbs at the BBC Introducing Musicians' Masterclass 2013. The panel talk about the different roads for music artists towards 'making it' and the misconception that a record deal is the ultimate goal.
Mary Anne Hobbs was joined by Chris York (SJM Concerts) , Jeff Smith (BBC Radio 2), James Endeacott (A&R & Music Manger) and Ben Mortimer (Polydor).

This says nothing about the A&R process from beginning to end whatsoever. Very incorrect title and no one in the panel answers the question.

Same thing I said. I think they're scared of their jobs being compromised. A lot of stuff that's held back isn't that complicated or as complicated as people make it, but if everyone understands it, prices charged come down and things and positions become more insignificant.

None of them know xD

This video sums up " A&R process from beginning to end" because it is 110% hot air cow patties.

One of the UK's most underrated musical talents, JP Cooper is in the audience, and he was signed a year later to Island Records.. 😏💣 - @Acharich

If they work like how they answered these questions, seriously they need to do something else and not ruin the hopes of so many unsigned bands!

[@acharich]

What makes u think u can't be one Alana..?

[@alanasims2981]

Acharich Speaks i just dont know how to be yet. I read a book once about being an a&r. You rarely hear about a&r’s anymore. I duno, i just dont know the right ppl or how to get in the music industry here in Michigan. I probably could figure it out but my life is all over the place right now

Dear God who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray amen.
1 Corinthians 16:14
Let all that you do be done in love.
Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
May all suffering end as we give thanks this day. May God's face shine upon us forever on Earth as it is in Heaven in Jesus Christ's name we pray for His name and for His sake. Amen.
