A Survey of Live Music in England and Wales in 2007
Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is interested in understanding about the provision of live music in venues whose core business is not the staging of live music (‘secondary venues’) and also the effects of legislation on the staging of live music in these venues. Earlier this year the Department contracted BMRB Social Research to conduct a survey of live music staged in England and Wales in 2007.
The survey is a follow up to a baseline survey carried out in 2004. It was designed to measure the provision of live music in secondary venues and to provide insight into the early effects of the Licensing Act 2003 on the staging of live music in these venues. The survey was conducted between 30 July and 2 September 2007 covering live music put on in the previous 12 months. It also examined perceptions of the impact the new Licensing Act has had on the willingness and ability of secondary venues to stage live music. The main report and an accompanying research brief are available via the link below.
