Ady Hall and Lee McCarthy in the studio
“I joined the MU back in 2005. My main reason, then, was for the public liability insurance I needed to be a working musician.
"The instrument insurance has also been very useful. Since then I have discovered so many other benefits to being a MU member, including the MU Parental grant, which was extremely helpful when my wife gave birth to both our children.
“It’s a great source of advice and support for so many areas of the music industry. There’s a peace of mind that comes with knowing the MU has got your back.”
