UK Music Welcomes Budget Steps for Live Venues, Urges More Support for Recording Studios

UK Music has responded to Chancellor John Healey's first Budget, acknowledging positive steps such as an extra 20% business rates reduction for live music venues. However, the organization is advocating for further government action, specifically calling for business rates relief for recording studios, aligning with support already provided to film studios. This aims to boost jobs and growth across the wider music sector.
