The transcendental and transformative potential of music in prisons is remarkable. In these often bleak and insipid spaces where all might seem lost, music nourishes and heals, reconnecting us with our humanity @libertychoiruk @MusicMagazine

This absolutely applies to Singers too, performing in TV, Film, adverts, or live streamed events! @EquityUK @EquitySingers
Someone's making money from big TV and streaming hits - but it's not the actors! Royalties and secondary payments aren't working for performers. Tell us in the comments why you need proper royalties and residuals or use our form https://t.co/Sg4w96tsnY & we'll tell the bosses
