COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK

I thoroughly recommend your service to anyone thinking of joining. You have been hugely supportive and helped me through some difficult issues. ISM is an essential supporting service for all musicians. The advice and help I have received throughout my musical career has been invaluable. They are highly reliable and always quick and efficient to respond to any requests for help. ISM member since 2015

[The tax helpline was] very quick and efficient and helpful ISM member I have noted how the ISM has engaged with the major issues facing the profession in recent years, and praise the team in their support of the membership, who more than ever need advice and assistance.

Philip Chapman, ISM member since 1993

Your service is fantastic, and on two occasions your legal team has been a great help with us from contracts offered to my band from record labels – I always recommend [the ISM] to fellow musicians. ISM member It gives one such confidence to know that a team of experts is available to give help and advice on a long list of problems, and certainly under the current leadership the organisation has shown itself to have real clout in the world of music. I applaud the campaigns on music education etc, and the support offered during the plague has been very useful. ISM member since 1991
