Musicians band together over rights

Tony Kennick, 10 March 2009

More than 150 artists from bands as diverse as Radiohead, Soul II Soul and Blur are swapping their plectrums for placards as they take up arms to fight for their rights in the digital music world.

They are converging on London tomorrow for the inaugural meeting of the Featured Artists' Coalition, spearheaded by well-known firebrand and campaigner Billy Bragg and Blur drummer David Rowntree.
