Support these vital talents


ARTS FUNDING

    play-writing, film scripts and song lyrics.

  • Free creative careers advice in schools, showing the skills required in the creative jobs, from the tech sector to theatre production.

  • Take steps to widen the reach of the Government Art Collection. 

SOLVE THE INSECURE WORK
FOR PERFORMERS 

  • Once upon a time, music bands got survival money by signing on every fortnight as unemployed, amongst the sparse work of occasional gigs. This even had a Cockney Rhyming slang phrase of Rock and Roll, the Dole. 
  • Revert to do that for actors and music bands, til they become famous. 

HOW MUSIC BANDS GAIN INCOME
FROM STREAMING VIDEO? 
  • Work with musicians and the digital services that profit from their work, to review the way that innovators and artists are rewarded for their work in this digital age. 

COPYRIGHT REFORM 

  • Protect independent artists, musicians and other creators, from large companies that currently abuse copyright law to make massive profits from the work of artists without paying them a penny. 

SMALL MUSIC VENUES 

  • Extend £1,000 pub relief business rates scheme to small music venues. 

  • Introduce an ‘agent of change’ principle in planning law, to ensure new housing can co-exist with existing music venues.
