Accessibility matters at every step. Last night’s @attitudeiseverythinghq Charter Launch Event considered a range of impairments, with accessible features throughout the night. This is something we all need to prioritize as an industry – accessibility should be at the heart of event and artist planning, not an afterthought. With disabled people making up nearly 1 in 5 of the population, accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s essential. Let’s implement @attitudeiseverythinghq’s new charter from the start and create truly inclusive spaces for everyone. #AccessibilityInMusic #attitudeiseverything

?? ?? ?? ?? ?? Fully appreciate that it's only early February but I predict this will be one of my most important posts of 2025. At gigmate we're all about putting the fan at the heart of everything we do ?? While there has been amazing work done by Music Venue Trust. Association of Independent Festivals, Night Time Industries Association & LIVE (Live music Industry Venues and Entertainment) to support the sectors' venues, artists & infrastructure the fans often feel left out of the conversation. This has been recognised and the first-ever Music Fans' Voice survey has just launched, giving gig-goers a direct say in shaping the future of live music in the UK. The survey gives audiences a chance to have their say in the future of live music and be heard on subjects ranging from dynamic ticketing to how they decide which shows to go to. If you are involved in the sector directly or as a fan I urge you to take 15 minutes out of your day to complete the survey ?? ?? ?? ?? https://musicfansvoice.uk
