Make Sure No Musician is Left Behind: Take Our New Survey

We’ve opened a new survey to help us lobby for the members who we’re concerned may fall through the cracks in the Government’s current assistance schemes. Help us by letting us know about your experiences.

Be sure your voice is heard. Take our survey now.

Help us convince the Government to support every musician. 

Our focus at the moment is on lobbying for members who are currently ineligible for either of the Government’s assistance schemes for employed and self-employed workers.

We also continue to argue for emergency financial assistance for the period before the remuneration becomes available, either by speeding up the Universal Credit application process up to cover the gap until support is made available in June or finding an alternative method of covering the income gap.

Please fill out this quick survey so we can make the best possible case for musicians, particularly those who are:

  • Newly Self-Employed
  • Have 'profits' of over £50k
  • Self-employed, but that work makes up less than 50% of their total annual income
  • Limited Companies/Personal Service Companies
  • Non-UK Nationals
