PARTICIPANT INFORMATION
What is the Southampton Creative Music Industries Survey 2020?
Music is central to the cultural drive of Southampton; however, we currently have no way of gaining an accurate oversight of the music industries ecology of the city. This survey aims to gain a deeper understanding of Southampton’s music industries to help better understand gaps in our infrastructure, the needs of our music industry professionals (paid and unpaid) and the issues that are limiting the growth of Southampton as a music city. We seek to move the narrative from being anecdotal to being based on evidence.
The Southampton Creative Music Industries Survey will be live throughout February 2020.
