Heavy Snow Scuppers Coldplay, Robbie Williams Meeting

The first meeting of the Featured Artists' Coalition, whose members include Coldplay and Robbie Williams, has been cancelled in the wake of heavy snow fall in London.

Williams and members of Coldplay, Blur and Radiohead had been expected to attend the event today (February 2nd).

The artists are attempting to establish a more powerful voice in order to take advantage of new technologies.

Blur's bassist Dave Rowntree told the BBC that by speaking out and “arguing for what's fair, we can help reshape the industry”.

He added: "There are a lot of big issues at the moment - the government's Digital Britain green paper, copyright extension and so on. It's no accident that this body is being set up now.

"It's absolutely vital that our interests are represented when decisions are made."

Kate Nash, MC Master Shortie and Billy Bragg are also part of the coalition.
