The Traditional Music Forum has launched a survey which aims to capture the economic realities for traditional and folk musicians in Scotland today.
We are undertaking this work to advocate the economic and cultural case for traditional music and open up ways for the network to better support musicians and music-making. We plan to use the information to underline the importance of traditional music to Scotland’s culture, and to inform thinking within the traditional music community about how music gets from musician to audience and how that might change and improve.
We'd like to get the survey out to as many musicians as possible. We're inviting people to define for themselves whether they consider themselves 'traditional' or 'folk' musicians, and activities can cover every kind of gig: clubs and festivals, Scottish dance bands, ceilidhs, tutoring, directing choirs or fiddle orchestras, pipe bands and much more.
It would be great if you would spread the word and pass the survey link to any musicians you work with or come into contact with in your own networks. The survey is here https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LDL97XN . It is entirely anonymous and will remain open until March 21st with the results collated and reported on in May.
