Samenvatting
Changing labour conditions in the creative industries are often interpreted as heralding changes to employment relations more broadly. The position of musicians’ labour in relation to these changes is unclear, however, given that these kind of conditions have defined musicians’ working practices over much longer periods of time. Musicians may thus be something of a barometer of current trends, as implied in the way that the musically-derived label ‘gig economy’ is being used to describe the spread of precarious working conditions to broader sections of the population. This article, drawing on original qualitative research that investigated the working practices of musicians, explores one specific aspect of these conditions: whether musicians are selfconsciously entrepreneurial towards their work and audience. |
