UK-based gig-goers will be able to voice their opinions on topics relating to shaping the country’s live music scene thanks to the launch of the Music Fans’ Voice survey.
The survey launched yesterday (Monday) and asks fans to discuss issues such as dynamic ticket pricing.
It has been commissioned by a collaboration between the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, The Mayor of London, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, West Midlands Combined Authority, Tees Valley Combined Authority, Cardiff City Council, Belfast City Council and Glasgow City of Music.
In a statement on the Music Fans’ Voice website, Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said: “Music has always been central to Greater Manchester, whether through culture, identity or its huge economic contribution. However, music is nothing without its fans.
“We want to hear from music fans across Greater Manchester, and the country to properly understand their views and thoughts about the music sector in the UK. I’m thrilled to be partnering with other Mayoral Combined Authorities, Local Authorities and the music industry to deliver this independent, fan-led survey of the music sector.”
The website says that the survey will offer fans “a seat at the table” and builds on the recommendation from the UK’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) for a fan-led review of live and electronic music – much like in football.
Findings will help to inform decision making in the government, the music industry and city regions across the UK.
