Music + Live Performances

LIVE Talks is a series of free online workshops and talks with a focus on EDI, sustainability and wellbeing and are aimed at making the UK live music industry an inclusive, enlightened and positive place in which to work. Join us as we kick off our 2024 programme with a workshop in partnership with Attitude is Everything, information below: Flipping the Script: Breaking Down Barriers for Disabled People with Attitude is Everything Dismantling the barriers faced by disabled people begins with the language we use and the way we communicate with one another. Join Dominique Gibson from Attitude is Everything as we introduce the Social Model of Disability to help understand the barriers faced by disabled people in the music industry, discussing the impact of language as an inclusive or discriminatory tool and how we can reduce this gap. Date: Thursday 18th January 2024 Time: 12pm – 1pm GMT Location: […]

The LIVE Awards recognise the leading companies and individuals in the £4.5bn UK live music business. The LIVE Awards will be presented on 12 December at Troxy, London, in front of an invited industry audience. The evening brings the business together at the end of the year. As LIVE’s standout fundraiser for the year, proceeds from the night will directly support LIVE’s ongoing work engaging government on critical issues such as EU touring and VAT on tickets and our efforts to support all across live music in the UK to meet their sustainability goals and foster a more diverse, equitable and inclusive operating environment. Further information on LIVE’s work can be found here while more information on this year’s event is available here: www.livemusic.biz

Date: 24th November 2023 Time: 12pm - 1pm UK Time Location: Online Sign up here: https://www.universe.com/events/3GZ479 Description: Parents and Carers in Performing Arts co-founders and co-CEO’s Cassie Raine and Anna Ehnold-Danailov will be sharing insights from their research and discussing how we can better support carers within the live music industry. They’ll be talking about ‘hidden carers,’ an important (and likely growing) minority of people working in music who have caring responsibilities for people who are not children (and who sometimes have children to care for as well), and sharing examples of what best practice can look like for carers, sharing tips and strategies for support. They would also love to hear from you about your experiences and there will be an opportunity for questions and discussions.
