We’re looking for bands and artists currently shaping the UK’s music scenes to take part in a large, filmed Zoom discussion that will form part of Three and a Half Minutes of Fame, an independent music documentary currently in production.Co-producer and presenter Alex Boucher MBE and the team want to capture honest, present-day perspectives on what it means to be an artist right now. From playing grassroots venues, touring and releasing music, to the sustainability of making music, the realities of the modern industry, and how today’s artists view and are influenced by the UK music industry of the past.The filmed Zoom call will be recorded for inclusion in the documentary and will take place on Friday 20 February between 5pm and 8pm.We’re keen to hear from artists of all genres, backgrounds, and locations who are actively building momentum, whether you’re DIY, independent, or established.If you’re active and interested in reflecting on your experiences as part of a wider conversation about music past, present, and future, we’d love to hear from you.To be considered, please register your interest via the Google Form below (or via the link in our bio).Please note: due to limited capacity, not all applicants will be able to take part.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTYW4YiKvMeTMcn40p-Hnkgz6GqvfNCFkqfHiccxUuld1yNg/viewform

Quick one — I’m making a documentary, Three and a Half Minutes of Fame, about what it really takes for bands to succeed today compared to the 90s. Gigs, near-misses, fandom, all of it. Would love if you had a look and maybe shared it — every bit helps! 🎸
