MMF Issue Statement About the Budget

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE


NEWS PROVIDED BY
Music Managers Forum (MMF)

Annabella Coldrick, CEO, Music Managers Forum:

"The MMF welcomes the extension of eligibility for support to the self-employed. This is an important measure that should have an impact on our community, many of whom faced real hardship during the pandemic, although unfortunately directors of limited companies are still excluded. We also welcome the £300m Cultural Recovery Fund for reopening and the extended VAT reduction on ticket sales, however it was disappointing not to hear any developments on Government-backed insurance for live music events which is urgently needed to get us back up and running in July. For a full longer-term music recovery, to a place where artists can perform to full capacity crowds and tour internationally, we will need this kind of targeted and continued support reaching into 2022."
