UK Live Music Industry Glossary

Plain-English definitions of the 125 terms the UK live music industry actually uses — fees and splits, technical and backline, licensing, contracts, roles, act types and logistics — written by a working musician. Every term carries a citable anchor on the live glossary, a category, the roles it matters to (artist, venue, agent, promoter) and its cross-references to related terms. Two data files: definitions.csv — 125 terms with definition, category, roles and cross-references qa.csv — 143 question-answer pairs: one per term, plus the glossary's editorial FAQ This version replaces a first release that contained only the question-answer split — the glossary itself had never been on the record. Nothing is withheld from this dataset: the definitions are our own writing and are already published openly, so there is no research layer to hold back and no contact data anywhere in it. CC BY 4.0.
