I have found practically nothing on Google Scholar with the search "Ageism music industry". I will mainly need to focus this assignment on first hand data.
Qualitative study: Ask Tom hingley about ageism. Andy Whitehouse, Phil Moody about A&R experience and whether age restrictions are placed on artists to be signed by A&R people.
Info request to PR people in record labels to find ages of artists. 3 questions max.
Look at the top 20 artist, find modal age.
Case study of Pop versus Hiphop to find whether or not age is an issue. Look at X-factor finalists throughout show's run to find any age correlations, eg. have all over 30's been phased out in earlier series'?
It might even be worth making a survey with 'survey monkey' to find whether peoples' tastes are influenced by age.
