Summary

Following Brexit, performers are consistently losing out on opportunities to perform. How has it gotten so bad – and can the situation be resolved? Alex Andreou is joined in The Bunker by Deborah Annetts, the CEO of the Independent Society of Musicians to find out how the government could save the music industry and why they have no desire to do so. “Various select committees have begged the government to sort this mess out.” “We won't see the results immediately but in five years time, are we going to have a thriving music industry? I very much doubt it.” "I’ve heard off the record: Why should we help you? Musicians don’t vote Tory." Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex Andreou.
