MIL-OSI Video: UK Grassroots music venues – Culture, Media and Sport Committee
Source: United Kingdom UK Parliament (video statements)
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee are examining what progress has been made to bolster the grassroots music sector in the UK, with Creative Industries Minister, Sir Chris Bryant, and industry and artist voices including Wolf Alice guitarist, Joff Oddie, on Tuesday 13 May.
Last year, the Grassroots Music Venue (GMV) sector had a combined value of £525 million, employed over 30,800 people and hosted 187,000 events with a combined total attendance of 26.6 million. Despite this, individual venues had an average profit margin of less than 0.5% and are closing at a rate of one every two weeks. The number of artists touring across the UK and abroad has also fallen by as much as 74% compared to pre-pandemic figures.
In 2024, the previous Committee published a report calling on the sector to agree a blanket, voluntary levy as quickly as possible, charging £1 on arena and stadium tickets, to support venues, emerging artists and independent promoters. This has been widely supported within the industry, with artists including Diana Ross and Ed Sheeran driving the move forward through contributions and pledges.
In the first part of the session, artists and sector representatives could be asked about the current state of the industry and what support they believe is needed to reverse the current issues it faces. MPs could examine the challenges faced by touring artists and may seek to understand how an increasing reliance on freelancers is impacting the sector.
This session will allow MPs to explore the progress that has been made in the uptake of this levy, and if a statutory levy is needed. The need for greater regulation of the ‘secondary’ or resale ticket market could also be discussed.
MPs will then question Sir Chris Bryant and the Deputy Director for the Creative Industries at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Questions could examine the impact of changes to business rate reliefs and seek clarity on what the Government hopes to achieve with its 10-Point Plan for Music.

Financial ContributionUN80
The Secretary-General briefed the Member States this morning on his UN80 initiative, telling them that, as the UN celebrates its 80th anniversary, the initiative is anchored in equipping our organization in an era of extraordinary uncertainty.
He told the Member States that the liquidity crisis we now face is not new, but today’s financial and political situation adds even greater urgency to our efforts. We must rise to this moment.
Mr. Guterres said that the UN80 Initiative is structured around three key workstreams: to rapidly identify efficiencies and improvements under current arrangements; to review the implementation of all mandates given to us by Member States; and to consider the need for structural changes and programme realignment across the UN system.
He noted that all Secretariat entities in New York and Geneva have been asked to review their functions to determine if any can be performed from existing, lower-cost locations, or may otherwise be reduced or abolished.
On mandates, he said that we have already completed an identification of all mandates reflected in the programme budget—and will soon do so for the rest of the system. The review has so far identified over 3,600 unique mandates for the Secretariat alone. After this analytical work, relevant entities and departments will be invited to identify opportunities for improvements or consolidation of efforts.
On structural reforms, the Secretary-General said that we have already got the ball rolling by soliciting the views of a number of UN senior leaders. Their initial submissions –nearly 50 in all– show a high level of ambition and creativity.
He added that we know that some of these changes will be painful for our UN family. Staff and their representatives are being consulted and heard. Our concern is to be humane and professional in dealing with any aspect of the required restructuring.SECRETARY-GENERAL TRAVELS
This afternoon the Secretary-General will be traveling to Germany to attend the UN Peacekeeping Ministerial that will kick off tomorrow, Tuesday in Berlin.
He will be joined by Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Operational Support Atul Khare, and Under-Secretary-General for Management Strategy, Policy and Compliance Catherine Pollard.
During the high-level opening ceremony tomorrow morning, the Secretary-General is scheduled to deliver remarks that will focus on the future of peacekeeping. He will underscore the importance of the work of our Blue Helmets and the sacrifices they make.
He will touch upon contributions to peacekeeping during these tough times for the financing of our work across the board.
And just to note that this meeting provides a platform for delegations to announce substantial pledges in support of closing capability gaps and adapting peace operations to better respond to existing challenges and new realities.
While there, the Secretary-General will hold bilateral meetings with German officials, including the Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz, as well as other leaders and officials attending this global event. He will also have media engagements there.
Following the Ministerial meeting in Germany, the Secretary-General will be heading to Iraq for the League of Arab States Summit, which is taking place in Baghdad on 17 May.
While in Iraq, the Secretary-General will be holding meetings with Iraqi officials and leaders from the region attending the summit. He will discuss a wide range of topics and issues mainly pertaining to the region, as you can imagine.Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=12%20May%202025
