Yes! As well as representing thousands of members in the UK, we have a number of internationally-based members who enjoy a wide range of services which support their careers and help them to connect with colleagues.

All our members add their voices to our vital lobbying work as we campaign across issues affecting the industry. This includes ensuring musicians can tour easily, and that they can work free from discrimination, as well as topics such as copyright. Our international members provide a valuable perspective on how other countries approach these and other important issues facing musicians.
