This may be the biggest opportunity we will collectively get to make the case for a fairer deal for songwriters, composers, and performers.
As well as accepting written evidence, Select Committee inquiries invite experts to speak on issues – and the inquiry into music streaming is no exception.
We’re delighted to see so many artists invited to speak to the Committee on Tuesday 24 November, over two sessions at 10am and 11am respectively.

The deadline for written evidence has been extended to Friday 11 December.
