Welcome to a full day about music life, your rights and your future!
Musicians, ABF, the Swedish Musicians’ Union, LO and the No Excuse festival come together to give you the tools, knowledge and confidence to take your music further – from the rehearsal room to the stage. Whether you play as a hobby or professionally, the goal is simple: a better grip on your rights, your money and your music.
What happens during the day?
Block 1: Gigs, work & rights. What applies when music becomes a job? Employment versus being hired for a gig, your rights, what to expect from an organiser or employer, working environment in the music business, and what ABF and the Musicians’ Union can do for you.
Block 2: Music life – what can go wrong and how to do it right? Shared experiences from playing live, touring and arranging your own gigs, with small-group discussions about risks and what you can do for a safer situation.
Block 3: Money, contracts & insurance. What to consider before signing band, commission and record contracts, STIM, copyright and collective agreements – and how to insure your health and your gear.
Organisers: ABF Väst, the Swedish Musicians’ Union and LO. The day is held in Swedish.
