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.

​This webinar forms part of our ongoing work on strengthening local music economies, building on the findings and recommendations of our Hometown Glory report.

​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.
