For many artists & bands, someone in the group often takes on the management mantle whilst they are trying to find long-term representation.

The MMF has introduced this new introductory level of membership to provide information to artists about the world of management, as well as giving you the opportunity to highlight your gigs to the managers and wider industry via our interactive calendar and run your own 'blog'. Also, includes a special quarterly email of your details sent to all members of the MMF incl biog/contact details.

Please note that some industry discounts & services do not apply for Self-Managed artists and are only for "Associate Membership" upwards

A wide range of general and specific benefits are available to MMF members at all levels. The MMF provides a network through which managers can share experiences and information.

All members are encouraged to raise issues of concern and play an active part in an organisation that aims to be their professional voice. Less experienced members have the benefit of regular problem solving surgeries.

Benefits include:

• Access to the skills and experiences of top managers who have committed themselves to offering help and information to MMF members whenever possible and are available for advice on a daily basis.
• MMF Workshops are held in all member countries on a regular basis and cover a wide range of topics including copyright, marketing, negotiating skills, music law, management, recording and publishing contracts.
• The MMF offers analysis of typical agreements for managers. A working knowledge of these agreements is fundamental to a successful management company. This analysis is in book form as a Managers Guide and has just been published. (ISBN number: 1-86074-257-2)
• The MMF is committed - with other industry organisations - to working towards ensuring that artists receive an equitable share of revenue from the broadcast and public performance of sound recordings.
