Live Music Kit Launched For Live Acts

8th November 2012

Musicians’ Union launches Live Music Kit to help explain the Live Music Act
.
The Musicians’ Union has published a handbook giving advice on how the Live Music Act, which came into effect in October 2012, will affect venues and performers when hosting live music events for audiences of fewer than 200 people.

It’s hoped the changes will help energise and promote grass roots music, vital for the long-term health of the UK music industry. The Live Music Kit explains why ‘many small venues’ can now host live music without holding a music licence – but you will still need to comply with the rules.

The Live Music Kit is available for download as a PDF or can be read on ISSUU page turner. See it at -
