“When I decided to take the leap and become a full time musician, it was a no brainer that I would join the MU.
“Self-employment can be scary, but the MU have felt like a much-needed support system. As well as providing the basics (public liability, instrument insurance and free PAT testing) they have also offered opportunities for my self-development by delivering workshops covering everything from understanding digital music distribution to vocal masterclasses.
“The other musicians I’ve encountered have added extra value by enabling me to build my own personal network.”
