Before the death of Buddy Holly, the conventional wisdom among record companies was: ‘stiffs don’t sell’. Times have certainly changed and the estates of some artists have become massive money makers. But how did this trend come about - and how might the artists feel about the posthumous commercialization of their work?

Our guest today is Eamonn Forde, an award-winning music business writer and author. Eamonn has been writing about all areas of the music business since 2000 in publications including Forbes, The Guardian and Music Business World. He is the author of three books, most recently Leaving The Building: The Lucrative Afterlife Of Music Estates (Omnibus Press). He joins us from North London.
