Live Music: An Analysis of the Sector
DCMS collects a range of high quality data on live music. No one source provides a complete picture but when these statistics are analysed together with relevant industry data they provide evidence of how the sector has fared in recent years.
This article sets out to explain how three sources of DCMS statistics provide details of changes in the live music sector between 2005 and 2009 and set these in context of wider industry data:
- Statistics on entertainment licensing, taken from the Alcohol, Entertainment and Late Night Refreshment Licensing Bulletin
- Analysis of cultural participation among adults from the Taking Part survey
- Research surveys of live music
- Annex D lists the minor revisions made to this article on 6th April 2010
