@SnugAtherton @bbc5live @musicvenuetrust There’s always someone who thinks they know better than the people actually doing it day in day out.
I'll be on @bbc5live in a few minutes to explain how a £1 levy on arena and stadium tickets can protect your local grassroots music venue and ensure we continue to support and develop great new British talent. @musicvenuetrust

@CommonsCMS @cj_dinenage @musicvenuetrust @markdavyd Non-profit GMV here (operating as a worker cooperative). If PRS are seriously claiming that the artists playing GMVs, who aren’t PRS members, are predominantly playing covers… then they need to get out more! Approx, 90% of the artists who perform at our venue are are not PRS…
