Creative Scotland is the public body that supports the arts, screen and creative industries across all parts of Scotland.

Glasgow’s music scene is legendary. From hosting Scotland’s biggest music festivals to many of its national organisations, music is the city’s beating heart. Celtic Connections and TRNSMT have their home here alongside Scottish Opera, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland, and Scottish Ensemble.

PRS for Music is a world-leading collective management organisation, representing the rights of more than 175,000 members and a repertoire of over 42 million musical works.

We collect and pay royalties when a member’s music is played in public, broadcast, downloaded, streamed, or performed live both in the UK and around the world. Our licensing efforts secure revenue streams for music creators.

The MU is the Trade Union for musicians and represents over 34,000 working musicians in the UK who work across all areas of the music industry. Our members are gigging musicians, music teachers, DJs and producers, orchestral players, composers, session musicians and everything in between. As well as negotiating on behalf of members with all the major employers in the industry, we offer a range of support services for musicians. We work to maximise the employment and overall income of musicians as well as protecting and improving working conditions. We also offer advice, support and legal assistance based on every individual member’s needs.
