Did you know that Equity is the union for choral singers?
If you work as a liturgical singer, we want to hear from you about your working conditions! Your feedback will support us in expanding our work in this area.

This thread is, unfortunately, predicated on something @EquityUK is not saying.
Yes, we highlight the inequity that PMA/CDG members don’t pay, but actors do.
But we want the cost transferred to the bosses, the producers, not other creatives.
Every other industry does this.
ALT Screenshot of Equity statement which reads: Council has decided to campaign for the law to be changed so our industries are brought in line with most others. Equity believes all casting directories, including Spotlight, should be banned from charging work seekers, and so should be free for performers to use. It is the producers and engagers who should bear the cost. Members should look out for how they can get involved in this campaign, which will be launched shortly.
