The Committee would like to hear the views and experiences of as many artists across as broad a spectrum as possible of the creative arts – including individual musicians.

They want to understand concerns both about the impact of Covid-19 and the support that is being provided by the Scottish Government and UK Governments.

How to respond

There is no deadline for written responses – and views are welcome in English, Gaelic, Scots or any other language.

You’ll find a template document, which you can use to write up your views, on the Scottish Parliament’s website – complete this and return it to europe@parliament.scot
