The Musicians Union (MU) Scotland and Northern Ireland Regional Office are hosting a Summer Social for MU members.
Members are invited to come along for a drink and a bite (on us), meet with other musicians and learn more about the Union and its activities.
It will be an opportunity to network, and also a chance for us to hear your thoughts and ideas on the issues. We want to know what’s affecting you and your career as a musician, and what you would like to see from us – your Union.
Bring a musical friend!
Friends or bandmates who are interested in joining or learning more about the MU are also very welcome to attend. Just let us know who your plus one will be at the time of booking, so we can cater for numbers.
Let us know you’re coming
Spaces are limited, so please RSVP by email to glasgow@theMU.org.

Vic Bar, Tron Theatre, 63 Trongate, Glasgow G1 5HB
About the MU
The Musicians’ Union (MU) is the only trade union for musicians in the UK. From rock bands to classical quartets, songwriters to session players, the MU represents over 30,000 musicians across the 4 nations.
The MU negotiates with all major employers in the industry, as well as offering advice and services tailored to freelance musicians’ needs at every stage of their career. That could be career advice, networking and training opportunities. Or help with a contract for a gig, recording, songwriting, touring or merchandising. It might be legal advice and assistance. Or help chasing unpaid fees – the Union recovered more than £250,000 for members last year alone!
The Union campaigns for fair pay, arts funding and to keep music live. With 30,000 members, the MU can influence policy in all Parliaments and Assemblies. Lobbying successes include the Live Music Act and its extension, which have made it easier to put on gigs. The Union are also fighting to protect musicians’ rights during Brexit, to protect music venues, and for a fair internet for performers so musicians are paid fairly for use of their work.
