REGIONAL MUSIC IS BOOMING BUSINESS FOR HIP OPERATION
A North East music management company is planning to expand thanks to ever growing demand for local talent from within the region and throughout the UK.
North East based Hip Operation plans to recruit two full time and two part time staff during the run-up to Christmas and further intends to double the number of artists represented from around one hundred to two hundred within six months.
Hip Operation was founded by rock drummer Steve Dolder in 2003. What began as an informal network of musicians who would cover for each other in the event of a double booking has grown into one of the regions largest professional music management companies.
The artists represented range from solo singers and performers, through string quartets and pipers to rock, pop and tribute bands. The expansion has come about since Hip Operation extended its territory from Newcastle and South Northumberland to cover the whole of the North East from Berwick upon Tweed to the North Yorkshire border.
The company is unusual in that it is run by professional musicians who have learned management skills, rather than professional managers who have learned the music business.
Owner Steve Dolder says:
“We are expanding due to requests from musicians all over the region. Our success seems to be based on the fact that we are musicians offering professional representation to fellow musicians. We know what the job is like because we have been there and are still performing. Hip Operation started out as a sort of self help group for musicians fed up with management who were only interested in their commission and we have tried to maintain that friendly but professional ethos. Now, if a client wants a particular type of music and our local guys are booked, we can find an alternative from within the region”.

What You Need To Know About Beginner Electronic Keyboards
You can refer to an Electronics Keyboard as a digital keyboard and it is nothing but a musical instrument that features a keyboard. There is either one, or more than one electronic device, the purpose of which is to amplify or generate sound. It was in the eighties that they enjoyed the maximum amount of popularity and both new wave music and pop chartbusters of the eighties were played on Electronics Keyboards. However, thirty years on, this popularity hasn’t faded out and these keyboards have been able to hold on to their past popularity.
In current times what we mean by an Electronic Keyboard is very simple – it is a cheap and affordable entry level instrument that is targeted at children and amateurs. Nowadays, the term Electronic Keyboard is used as a sweeping term to refer to any kind of musical instrument that is electronic such as arranger keyboards, electronic organs, samplers, mellotrons, synthesizers, digital pianos, electric pianos and musical keyboards.
Professional musicians refer to the kinds of instruments described above as beginner keyboards if the price is low, within $200 to $400. But the higher end versions that feature more advanced features and which are also highly priced are referred to as arranger keyboards or workstations.
You should not really compare beginner keyboards with professional high end feature rich musical instruments, as they are lacking in many features, the quality of sound output is pretty mediocre and the size is also smaller and the price is also very affordable. Electronic Keyboards can be seen or are sold in toy stores, electronic stores along with video games and stereo systems.
However, many professional music artists often used these kinds of beginner keyboards to add a touch of novelty and even variety to their music and this was a phenomenon that was often repeated in the genre of reggae music in the eighties.
