  • Written Evidence Submitted by the Musicians' Union
    Written evidence submitted by the Musicians’ Union Musicians Union’ response to DCMS call for evidence ‘The future of UK music festivals’ The MU represents over 32,000 professional musicians working across all sectors of the UK music industry. 1. What is the economic and cultural contribution of the UK’s festival industry? 1.1 UK music festivals attract audiences in excess of 4.9 million annually (2018 figure). i This has increased from 2.79 million in 2012. They generate international as well as domestic tourism and provide an important boost to local (and in particular rural) economies. 1.2 Festivals are an important part of the live music ecosystem and its talent pipeline. They play a key part in the career path of many musicians whether a) an emerging artist playing a small stage or b) a headlining act on the main stage. You don’t get to b without first starting at a. 1.3 The UK’s large and diverse festival circuit ensures that artists can develop and grow their audiences, which boosts the economy and the cultural footprint of the UK. 1.4 Many festivals are programmed around a particular genre or theme, which is invaluable for niche artists who may otherwise struggle to have a full touring itinerary across music venues. Such events feed into the diversity of UK music, and allow artists to sustain a career without compromising their musical output, and also for fans to access and discover their favourite kinds of music. 1.5 Playing outdoor festivals in the warmer months to larger audiences can also boost audiences across the UK to attend indoor gigs during the colder months, again supporting local communities, culturally and economically.

    Jefferson Report Facts and Friction: Assessing the Impact of Major League Baseball’s Proposal to Reduce Minor League Franchises By Alan Swigonski The Jefferson Educational Society will periodically publish reports on issues important to the Erie region. This report was written by Alan Swigonski. Swigonski, a retired auditor, is the former managing director of the Waldron Campus Center at Gannon University. He was the founding co-director and president of Team Erie, the citizens action group that from 1990 to 1995 helped galvanize public opinion to build Jerry Uht Park, now UPMC Park. Editor’s Note: Reports on the unfolding baseball controversy will be updated on the Jefferson’s website, jeserie.org, and in emails to the Jefferson Report’s list of supporters. – Pat Cuneo, Publications Coordinator 3 ‘Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.’ – George Will, columnist and author Erie May Lose Pro Baseball Facts and Friction: Assessing the Impact of Major League Baseball’s Proposal to Reduce Minor League Franchises By Alan Swigonski Major League Baseball is suddenly considering a radical proposal to eliminate the player development agreements for 42 of its 162 minor league teams at the end of the 2020 season – and the future of MLB-affiliated professional baseball in Erie is squarely on the target list. That development, which continues to unfold, and the alarm expressed by community, government, and business interests – locally, across the state, and nationally – has been swift and Erie SeaWolves President Greg Coleman presents jersey to sweeping. SeaWolves owner Fernando Aguirre Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is the force behind the proposal, for which most baseball watchers suspect is one way for Manfred to bolster his tough guy image in advance of negotiations with the Major League Baseball Players Association as the current Collective Bargaining Agreement is due to expire in 2022.
