Mapping the Music Industry In Scotland
 | The music industry in Scotland currently generates in the region of £106 million annually in sales of music and services. This figure can fluctuate greatly within any given year due to such things as release and concert schedules.
In addition, the public sector in the shape of the Scottish Arts Council, local authorities and the Scottish Enterprise Network contribute around £18.8 million to the music economy in Scotland.
The industry is made up of approximately 2 040 full time employees and 2 003 part time workers. Additionally, hundreds of workers are employed on a short-term basis for events such as festivals and large outdoor concerts.
Within Scotland there are personnel working in all the major sectors of the music industry, although several areas (notably distribution and management) are severely underrepresented.
The advent of devolution has changed the political oversight of the industry and offers a range of opportunities for future developments. One aspect of this has been an apparent new willingness to work across musical genres and across the public/private sector divide. This approach has the potential to be expanded more fully in relation to the other creative industries.
Scotland shares many of the challenges faced by music businesses across the developed world. These include those created by the internet and new technology, the consolidation of major companies in the recording, radio and live music industries, increased competition from large multinational companies and the decline in the number of artists being signed by the Òbig fiveÓ major labels.
While investment by the major labels in Scottish artists has declined, investment by international companies in the Scottish live music scene has increased. This is indicative of the fact that live music is one of the most successful sectors in the music industry in Scotland.
The retail sector is also buoyant, with Scottish consumers spending in the region of £330.9 million a year on musical instruments and live and recorded music. The amount spent on recorded music is proportionate to the UK expenditure, and although there is a worldwide trend away from the purchase of recorded music from traditional, independent shops to a combination of purchases from the internet and large multiple retailers, supermarkets and petrol stations, the success of Fopp shows that there are still market niches which retailers can exploit.
The amount spent on musical instruments and equipment (£21.75 million) suggests that there is still a healthy interest in music as both a career and a leisure activity in Scotland.

Misfits
 | Misfits is Edinburgh's newest alternative night, playing a mash of Indie/Electro/Punk/Rock. Misfits aims to be more than just your run-of-the-mill alternative night, it intends to build a community of clubbers, united across the splintered genres in a common appreciation of all that is alt/indie.
At the heart of it is the website - www.misfitsonline.co.uk - which allows the clubbers to network online, interact on the forums, and log requests for the DJ to track down in advance of the next night. We don't do musical elitism, believing instead that the clubbers should mould the night as much as the DJ - requests made online, as well as on the night, guide us on our way to achieving this.
It's a social experiment of sorts, or clubbing for the myspace generation if you prefer. You could of course just view it as an excuse to go out and mingle with good looking folk whilst listening to a soundtrack that you've influenced.
