    Quarter of music industry workers have had no work in EU since Brexit
    Survey shows devastating impact of Brexit on music sector, says Independent Society of Musicians

    Almost half of UK musicians and workers in the music industry have had less work in the EU since Brexit than before it, and more than a quarter have had no EU work at all, according to a survey.

    The impact of Brexit on the music sector had been devastating, said the Independent Society of Musicians (ISM), which carried out the survey. Restrictions had impaired the viability of making a living as a musician, it said.

    The mezzo soprano Jennifer Johnston said Brexit was “quietly killing our world-class music sector” and its impact could not be overstated. “It is time for the government to pull its finger out and reverse some of the damage being done before it is too late.”
