Can anyone please provide a recommendation regarding the best place to go with for Public
Liability Insurance? I'm a solo singer so there's just me to worry about.
Many
thanks.

If you're UK based join MU http://www.musiciansunion.org.uk/. Public liability insurance is part
of the membership benefits. From MU website: "Insurance schemes Members are insured for legal liability of £10m, to cover injury to members of
the public or damage to property. You also get instrument and equipment insurance up to
£2,000, Personal Accident cover and tax investigation cover. NEW: Members have access to
Professional Indemnity Insurance Scheme from just £50 a year (plus £5 admin fee)." http://www.musiciansunion.org.uk/join-the-mu/benefits/

Thanks but I don't want to join. If they offered PLI on its own then I might consider it;
it's all the other stuff that comes with joining that I don't want.

So, I'm presuming then that everyone on here who has PLI has it through the MU or doesn't
have it at all then?

Try 'Simply Business' for a cheap and good service.

You can ignore their other services and
activities. The only question is whether the subscription ia a competititive price for
£10M PLI.
Even if it does also currently fund a project on LGBT musicians in
the workplace. Highly valuable I'm sure. But why am *I* paying for it?

Thanks all. I'll try Simply Business and see what the cost is with them. Having said
that, since first asking the question I'm reconsidering my initial reluctance to get
insurance through the union. I've always believed in the unions, whatever job I've been
doing, so I think it's in my best interests to be in one now that I'm s/e.

I was with Simply Business, but for some reason, their quote trebled for no apparent
reason. I got a far better deal with musicguard. It sounds like it would be ideal for
you. Bazza
