The MDA is proud to publish the first in a series of campaign papers penned by its membership, with the first being an inspired discussion regarding music development in the UK.

Our aim is to raise the visibility and sector awareness of important issues affecting music business growth and sustainability. There are also campaign papers in the pipeline covering areas such as:- International events / conventions – collective logistics and economies of scale?- Bulk Visa arrangements and finance for conventions / trade ventures.?- Local / Independent Radio Support
