Musicians’ Census launches to gain a picture of UK music makers
Music charity Help Musicians and the Musicians’ Union have launched a Musicians’ Census to gain insight into the UK’s community of music-makers.“The world has changed significantly in recent years – and with that, the landscape for musicians”, says MU General Secretary Naomi Pohl. “But without quality data and representative insights, it’s difficult to understand what today’s musicians really need and how we can help”.“There are an estimated 37,000 musicians in the UK – over 32,000 of which being members of the Musicians’ Union”, she goes on.
