Mr. Jackie Conboy:

I have spoken to artists who have released successful albums and singles over the years. Some of them have now given up. They say there is no point. One man who had released seven singles got two or three airplays in a year a half. I listened to the tracks and I could not believe it. They are incredible tracks. That is one person. A band that has released five singles and is a well-known act decided not to work this year, because it would not be able to sell tickets due to a lack of airplay. It is now looking at next year. I spoke to some amazing studios around the country. They find that artists who used to routinely record are now saying there is no point. It is breaking down.
