Here at Make Music Day UK we believe live music is for everyone, that’s why we’ve teamed up with Attitude Is Everything to promote accessibility within music scenes across the UK.

The Beyond the Music Professionals Network
The network is open to anyone who identifies themselves to be Deaf, disabled or neurodivergent and works in the music or live events industry, or who aspires to do so. Joining the network will lead to opportunities to take part in events, talks and training sessions, networking events and take advantage of Attitude is Everything’s Skills Development programme.

Within the network, Attitude Is Everything are running a series of Access Hours. These sessions will cover a wide range of topics, from royalties and licensing, to funding, to putting on and promoting your own events, and are aimed at helping people better understand roles in the industry and how to access them. They are also a way for Deaf and disabled artists to network without barriers and pressure. From performers to promoters, these Access Hours are aimed at anyone who works, or wishes to work, in the music and live events industries.

This survey is an opportunity to talk about your experiences accessing employment and volunteering opportunities. Attitude is Everything are especially interested in people who work in the music industry or aspire to do so but also want to hear about your wider experiences of accessibility in the work place.
