OK, so I'm going to lay it down straight from the beginning, I
absolutely love museums. Actually I adore them, I think they're amazing
and I regularly refer to myself as a museum super geek.
I have my
favourites, they have educational programmes that can not be matched by
any other institution. One particular favourite is the British Music Experience. This little museum of popular music has a connection with the industry and
see themselves as the meeting point between the public and the
industry. They regularly hold masterclasses with industry veterans and
can even convert themselves into a live music venue having already
staged concerts with the likes of Jamie Cullum and Bon Jovi.
One of its mission is to enhance the understanding of the
industry among young people, and they did just that this week when Kate
Nash came in to talk to young girls about women in the industry. Kate
was great and opinionated (all of which I agreed with). She has a no
nonsense approach to the industry and her short time in it has obviously
taught her a lot. Best of all she did just what the museum wanted, she
inspired these young girls.
