About this episode

Alan Averill discusses the potential impacts of the Middle East war on energy and the music industry.

Are we heading for some really Dire Straits because of the war in the Middle East? Energy rationing? stay at home and work orders? or is that fear mongering....? did you realise how important Desallination was? how is all of this gonna effect the music industry, and touring? negatively is my guess.
