Somewhere in the music industry, between 'sex drugs and rock and roll' and The Wiggles, is the rest of us.

During the series we'll talk to people from across the industry - artists, promotors, techs, broadcasters, writers, academics, teachers - anyone who has a gig in 'industry', whatever that means.
