TRADE ORGS PUSH FOR MUSICIAN AID

3/23/20

U.K. musicians have lost an estimated £13.9m in earnings due to the coronavirus pandemic and trade orgs are demanding help from the Government for the self-employed.

A report from The Musicians’ Union in the U.K. revealed that 90% of musicians have already been affected, with job opportunities down 69% vs. the same time last year. According to the findings, the highest loss of earnings is due to canceled gigs and live performances. Teaching and orchestral work are also experiencing a significant downturn due to social distancing measures, closures and pupil isolation. As a result, the MU has launched a Coronavirus Hardship Fund to offer £200 grants to those who are facing financial difficulty.
