British musicians consider changing jobs
According to a study by the British Musicians' Union, a third of the country's musicians are planning to change careers due to financial difficulties caused by the pandemic.
The Musician's Union has more than 30,000 members in the UK. According to their study, almost half of them have already had to look for work outside the music industry. 70 percent are not able to carry out their profession as before. 87 percent are struggling with major financial difficulties.
The Musicians' Union has called on the government to take urgent action to protect and safeguard the future of the music and culture industry in the UK. It has also written an open letter to the authorities in Northern Ireland, who are currently banning public performances by musicians.
