Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003

The above-mentioned regulations have made it necessary for all music agents in the UK to adopt new working practices.

The requirements set out in the Regulations are fairly inflexible and require that all music agents provide terms of business, in writing, to each artiste, as well as to each promoter or booker or venue with whom they deal.

The Regulations set out the matters that must be covered in those Terms of Business. Non-compliance with the Regulations is a criminal offence.

The Regulations and the guide to the Regulations can be found at:

and

The guide has been produced by the Department of Trade and Industry together with the Actors’ Union, Equity.

You can download a copy of our document ‘Standard Terms of Business – Promoters, Bookers/Venues’. You should read this document, including both appendixes. These Terms of Business (and the required information) must be completed & returned by every organisation or individual with whom we deal on behalf of any artiste for whom we may from time to time seek work.
