Dear fellow Singers. A reminder that our @EquityUK Public Liability Insurance does cover you for teaching work relevant to your profession, i.e. teaching singing.
Heard a few people on visits recently thinking our PLI doesn't, so just thought a reminder might be helpful 🙌🏻
Artists agree 💯
All creatives - visual artists and designers, musicians, writers, and audiovisual performers represented by @EquityUK - deserve control over their work.
Say no to AI tech companies stealing your work without consent or remuneration.
