After Labour's landslide victory in the British election, the music industry is urging the new British government to quickly take action to strengthen a sector that has been on its knees in recent years.

"The work begins now," is the message from several umbrella organizations in the industry, reports Billboard.

"Our sector is facing serious challenges and needs urgent help to recover from years of neglect," writes Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, which represents nightclubs and live venues, in a social media post.

He receives support from Tom Kiehl, CEO of the industry organization UK Music, who states in a press release.

"The Prime Minister must use his extensive powers to change and strengthen jobs, growth, and opportunities within the music sector," he says.

Kiehl also urges Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government to invest in music schools across the country, and above all, to address the music teacher shortage of thousands that has affected British schools since the 2010s.

"Sir Keir is undoubtedly a music-loving Prime Minister, as he himself played the flute, piano, recorder, and violin as a teenager, and studied at the Guildhall School of Music," he says.
