All these new rules being made – no one takes into account the “musician” – yet everyone loves music of some kind. Between the “Gig Worker” rules and the “Brexit” rules, musicians are getting pushed out into the cold. Become an activist for you and your fellow musicians!!! Take the time to write a letter to your representatives. That’s the least – and not costly – you can do to help out.
