At a special townhall session with members of the performing arts industry here today, he said the body would protect the rights and interests of music industry practitioners, such as issues concerning lop-sided royalty payments. At the event, industry members also submitted a memorandum to the premier that proposed the setting up of a National Music Corporation.
