Its time @AndyBurnham to deliver on your pledge. With winter closing in, 3.8 million #ExcludedUK workers, small businesses and families can't wait any longer. Deliver the justice YOU fought for, NOW, NOT later!!

It's truly dreadful that people think the pandemic is over...when there are thousands still paying their Bounce Back LOANs...when the other 90% of UK taxpayers were awarded grants that they didn't have to pay back. #ExcludedUK don't have a problem with that, nobody would have survived without them... but why were 10% left out?!?
Why was it OK for 1 member of ExcludedUK to take their own life, let alone 40... and they are the ones we have been notified about....there will be thousands more we don't know about...
Last Friday another #ExcludedUK member lost their house as they could not keep up with mortgage AND BBL repayments.... how is that even allowed??!!? @MartinSLewis your team told Head of #ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, that you could not campaign with us any longer as you were concentrating on your own projects... but nothing has changed since you last campaigned with us...in fact, it has got worse... more people have lost homes, businesses, personal possessions, and lives!
Please help us... I know you are busy, but despite all his promises, @andyburnham has gone quiet on us!
Jennifer is still dealing with attempted suicides and the families of those who have taken their own life as a result of being excluded... it is just not right!
Please email Jennifer and work out a way to help us. [email protected]

There is no such thing as a promotional use of music.Every play is a primary use. There is no ‘record’ to promote: the play is the product. Saying plays promote live/merchandising is like saying waiters work to ‘promote’ tips. Exploitation.

Hi @RishiSunak. Today you said the Job Support Scheme applies to everyone “whatever job they do”. Does that mean you’re increasing SEISS so that self employed people get an equal level of support, & closing gaps that 38% musicians and 3m #ExcludedUK fall through? #covidbriefing

Hey @RishiSunak
The UK’s Music industry brings around £5.2 Billion into the economy. That’s more than five times the size of the UK fishing industry.
We need help to get through this thing.
My #BrokenRecord thought for the day: digital platforms work for the consumer, but the funds aren’t getting back to the creators. Perhaps we need a not-for-profit, artist led and artist centric digital music platform. Cut out the middleman which strips the money from the artist.
After say 3 plays of a song, politely direct the listener to purchase the track and add it to their collection, probably with additional content incentives. Even artist multi-buy options.
I feel that a positive change is on the horizon for musicians.
We just need to start the conversation and get the right people involved. I am more than happy to sit at the table and throw my ideas in the pot! #BrokenRecord
#BrokenRecord industry strikes again!
If you thought yesterday's graph was horrifying. Take a look at how songwriters are doing.
It takes a while to write a song.
Data from the brilliant @thetrichordist. It's a #BrokenRecord Business. (estimations based on norms)
If you invested £15k in a moderate home recording setup & paid yourself minimum wage for a year to record and promote an album, you would need 10,028,572 Spotify streams JUST TO RECOUP (as a sole rights owner)

Terrifying. The most up-to-date streaming rates adapted for £ and for UK minimum wage. Data from the excellent
@thetrichordist. #BrokenRecord

Adam and Brendan, NMBB's engine room, are excited about the new album, with good reason. It sounds pretty, pretty good. We will be letting you know where and when it will be released very soon. Watch this space....

Sheet music is being proofed and finalised to be included in our engaging music resource packs, along with the backing tracks, videos and schemes of work.
These tracks will be available on the @CharangaMusic platform in 2019, we’re very excited!
