There's a surprise act making more money from the Grassroots levy than any venue, promoter, or artist. Can you guess who the special guest at the party is?
Reminds me of when Bob Geldof got even the coldest of politicians to 'turn' and donate VAT from the Live Aid single back to the campaign.
What is worrying also, is that this basic VAT charge could deter those you/we need on board, who may use it as a stick to beat the idea with. In contrast we need the big names already on board, to raise this point and hopefully influence people in gov't to make the right decisions.
Thanks for another great article and for relaying the info.
Ugghhhhh. Exasperated, but not surprised. Thank you for taking the time to explain the system, in all its glory but with all its peccadilloes. Maybe it’s petition time - or do those even make a difference? I know the one I started about RoundUp weed killer in my local town got hushed and dismissed in spite of the evidence that it’s killing the wildlife. Why should our nightlife matter? But if there IS a petition, let me at it!
