The MDA is proud to publish the first in a series of campaign papers penned by its membership, with the first being an inspired discussion regarding music development in the UK.
MUSIC_DEVELOPMENT-LEVELLING_THE_PLAYING_FIELD
Our aim is to raise the visibility and sector awareness of important issues affecting music business growth and sustainability. There are also campaign papers in the pipeline covering areas such as:
- International events / conventions – collective logistics and economies of scale
- Bulk Visa arrangements and finance for conventions / trade ventures.
- Local / Independent Radio Support
Please contribute to the discussion by commenting on the MDA blog post.



I’ve just read your Music Development Association Campaign paper ‘Levelling the Playing Field’. When you are trying to get state funding you could also argue that you could help develop music projects that would meet Government goals. My website, http://www.sexanddrugsandrockandhealth.com shows how to use market research data to find out what different segments of the population are interested in and then use these as a health education tool. It could also be used for other purposes such as environmental education etc. I have a large section on the possible use of music.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for this and the comment was passed onto Jim at the time. Some interesting stuff on the use of data
Thanks
Pete
