It’s a shame that, unlike fishing (worth £437m to UK economy in 2019) our industry isn’t a priority.
(Even with a Tory running @UK_Music 🤷)

The Culture Minister must urgently confirm one way or another whether it was the UK Government that blocked the deal which would have granted UK musicians easy access to #EuropeanUnion states for #touring.

Really great that the #MusicStreamingInquiry is hearing how fair remuneration for musicians from streaming could work in practice - NP
A final question in the first session on the impact of Brexit on music. Maria Forte says "Brexit is bad for musicians if there's no deal and if there's a deal then who knows". @kwamekwaten agrees: "as there is currently no deal I can only see it being bad". #WorkingintheEU
