The initial findings of the first ever UK Musicians’ Census are being released to the public for the first time today. The results are based on detailed information provided by nearly 6,000 UK musicians, making it the largest ever survey of its kind.
The first report provides a detailed insight into the demographic makeup of UK musicians, the barriers to career progression and economic challenges.
