Please post this superb podcast by Mark Graham of the band King Kong Company (top) about MISP, FMC, Yangaroo, IMRO and the recent handling of public funds designated to support Irish musicians.

While much of the discourse around the recent awarding of monies has been labelled sour grapes from unsuccessful artists, Mark has deftly and dispassionately questioned and challenged the optically dubious handling of these funds, for example the unchallenged awarding of €28,000 to distributors Yangaroo, the awarding of funds to acts managed by former FMC board members and journalists previously employed FMC for Hard Working Class Heroes and other FMC events.

The podcast goes well beyond MISP and raises serious questions about how public funding is being managed.

MISP Transparency have done a fantastic job on this recently but this is an even deeper dive.
