Pitch Perfect

​A webinar aimed at Local Authorities on busking best practice

​Busking can increase footfall and make environments safer and more welcoming for residents and visitors. Busking-centred festivals can boost the local economy and provide income and opportunities for homegrown talent. However, local authorities can face noise complaints if buskers and local communities are in conflict. UK Music is the collective voice of the UK’s world-leading music industry. We represent all sectors of our industry – bringing them together to collaborate, campaign, and champion music. This Webinar explores how local authorities can create best-practice busking policies to grow the cultural economy, back homegrown talent and bring communities together, with expert contributions from policy professionals, the Musicians Union, and street musicians.
