“It’s really important for us to be at the forefront on the sustainability and inclusion questions, to inspire others and help with all these things. If we don’t have a sustainable future, we may not have a future at all.”

Hilma Kekkonen, Svensk Live - (Sweden )

“It’s all about sharing and cooperation!”

Boris Colin, FEDELIMA - (France )

“We need organisations like Live DMA to support our activities. During COVID, it was important to have Live DMA meetings so that we could learn what was going on in the other countries, and that was very helpful when it came to the lobby work on the local level”

Ingrid Stroom, Live Music Estonia - (Estonia )

“We have been celebrating the 10th anniversary of Live DMA, a network which was created in 2012 by venue networks from all over Europe. The purpose was to share knowledge and skills with each other, and to set up common projects, and I think we’ve succeeded in doing that!”

Marc Steens, Clubcircuit - (Belgium: Flanders )

“I learned to collect and process data with good quality, and also I learned the importance of data to start a dialogue with institutions. Good data gave ACCES a lot of recognition”

Elda Gomez, ACCES - (Spain )

ʻʼThanks to Live DMAʼs Survey, we showed our government that the more a venue is subsidized, the more money they generate. The Ministry of Culture had little knowledge of our sector. So to present these figures from different European countries was crucial in re-valorising our subsidies.”

David Dehard, Court-Circuit - (Belgium: Wallonia & Brussels )

ʻʼAs a venue, we believe that the live music sector is insufficiently recognised as part of culture. Networks like Live DMA can amplify local voices. Being part of Live DMA help us gain knowledge from across Europe and find partners with similar challenges.ʼʼ

Ieva Irbina, LPNVA - (Latvia )

ʻʼ[European Cooperation] gives indeed vision: weʼre every day provided with mental-openness and support. It might seem imperceptible but itʼs fundamental to feel part of a wider ecosystem. It boosts our awareness as representative of a whole sector and this bring direct advantages to our members.ʼʼ
