This crisis extends beyond music. I know that the noble Lord, Lord Freyberg, will want to expand on this. The Contemporary Visual Arts Network warns that artists’ studios face an almost identical situation. Like recording studios, these spaces are the R&D of the creative sector, themselves operating on razor-thin margins to keep workspace affordable, yet because of inconsistent interpretation by local authorities regarding public access, many are excluded from relief. Without clear case studies or guidance, which the CVAN has specifically requested, we face a postcode lottery in which vital cultural assets will be lost.
