Had a look, but apparently they are only interested in people who make music for money (or intend to do so).
So the rest of us musicians don't count apparently :(

I did it. Strange survey. I’m obviously not the demographic it’s targeted at being nearly 60 and generally ok(ish). Feels like they’ve written the story and survey will support it!

Anyway it’s only 5 mins, if it helps someone I’m happy.

Yes - it feels like they are going to write a report saying x% of musicians have experienced discrimination of some kind. All they are waiting for is the value of x.

It also seems a little biased towards performing musicians (which I was prior to the pandemic!) and away from music creators.
