Musicians' Union at Gear Expo 2021

It's a difficult time for musicians and we are behind every single one of you.

The Musicians’ Union is doing everything we can to help, including advising the Government on behalf of musicians during the pandemic, setting up the Coronavirus Hardship Fund and offering subscription holidays.

If you left the Union five or more years ago, you can rejoin and pay just £1 for 6 months of membership*

The numerous benefits include:

• Instrument and equipment insurance.
• £10m public liability cover
• Legal advice and assistance
• Fee recovery
• Teacher services
• Rights protection
• Collective negotiation with employers
• Contract and partnership advice
• Career development
• Benevolent support

We hope by creating affordable access to the Union, we will provide further support and benefits to even more musicians.
