Live Performance Section

How are live performing musicians represented?

Live music events represent an increasingly important element of most musicians’ income, as it is an ongoing struggle for musicians to make a fair living from publishing and rights alone, so the work of the Section is vitally important.  

The Live Performance Section is headed up by Kelly Wood who liaises with the Section Committee and feeds back its key findings to the Executive Committee, as well as being on hand for the 12,000 strong MU members who perform live.

What does the Live Performance Section Committee do?

The Live Performance Section Committee is discussing a range of topics concerning musicians in live industry, such as international touring issues, festivals, emerging artists, working with featured artists, working in small venues, local government planning policy, street busking, vehicle parking in city centres, and sexual harassment in the live performance sector.  

Our Committee is keen to press for equal opportunities and high standards of employment for everyone.

If you are a MU member who is working as live performer and are willing to help us affect change for good, get in touch or find out more.
