🎫🎙️In My Opinion: “Every ticket sold at an arena and stadium should contain a £1 financial contribution back into the live music ecosystem."
🎶Mark Davyd from the Music Venue Trust says the money would go to fund finance local venues and new talent.
❓What do you think?

Despite the "top-end" of the live music industry making record-breaking profits, the grassroots is calling for more to follow @ENTERSHIKARI's example and pay back to the grassroots

Unfortunately the "T" has been damaged over the weekend and is in sign hospital according to organisers.
Well done to the culprits

No doom and gloom down indie Watergate Street theses days. It’s the place to be - I’ve not experienced this kind of atmosphere for 20 years. All newcomers welcome! @ShitChester @StileNapoletano @DEATHBYTACOS_ @CheshireNews @ChesterBID @welovegoodtimes @chestertweetsuk

Great news 👍
The most exciting thing about the new premises is that @ChefsChester aren’t leaving completely. Liam and I are going into MeltTown as partners 😁

Distribute this to artists that actually need it, put it to good use. Don’t incentivise inaccuracy. Black box money should be put back into the industry where it’s needed most to help it thrive and keep it alive.
When I received the press release today from @MLC_US I thought there was a mistake with the figure... $424,384,787 is a lot of money in unmatched royalties for songwriters and publishers.

Hi @PRSforMusic
I mean, no rush..... but performers and songwriters do actually want to work.
It’s now been nearly a week since the @PRSforMusic U turn where they announced artists could apply for a free license, yet despite several emails to the address they provided to get one there is still no response. Absolute contempt for their members @musicvenuetrust #FixPRS

We are living in one of the most difficult times ever for our live music industry. We have seen a reduction of more than 80% in revenue. Being one of the first industries to close and likely the last to reopen, the Cultural Recovery Fund was a lifeline for some businesses. (1/9)

Good morning #Chester, we know it's hard, but we have to keep up the good work so we can all get back to enjoying all the delights of our wonderful city sooner rather than later! bit.ly/2LN3Loh #ChesterTogether #InItTogether #supportlocal

Day 8 of the @PRSforMusic online tariff debacle.
Excellent article by Michelle Escoffery. musicweek.com/publishing/rea…
For clarity: MVT has been talking to PRS for 6 years about the best way to pay songwriters. Little to no progress. Perhaps we could meet with you Michelle? #fixPRS

Day 7 of the @PRSforMusic debacle on online tariffs.
Tariff dropped. Thank you. We are working to get cancelled shows reinstated.
Now how about a constructive and informed discussion to create a grassroots tariff that respects and rewards the work of all songwriters?

Day 5 of the @PRSforMusic Online Tariff Debacle.
Still no explanation as to why only small scale events under £500 are currently being told to licence. Or why the licence rate demanded is higher than any even proposed for major events. No licensees = no licence fees #fixPRS

The Labour-led Cheshire West & Chester Council is proposing a balanced budget for 2021/22 which protects essential public services and supports local communities in the face of catastrophic Government cuts and the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Day 3 of the @PRSforMusic Online Tariff debacle.
Hundreds of events cancelled, artists and songwriters losing money, audiences deprived of music.
And still PRS remain silent and take no action to correct this ill conceived and badly delivered Tariff.
‘For Music’? #fixPRS
