A step up? Access to live music venues for disabled musicians using a case study of Glasgow as UNESCO of City Music

这项研究将探索格拉斯哥现场音乐行业的可达性，为那些在现场音乐场所工作和利用现场音乐场所的人。在音乐家联盟的支持下，以我之前对该主题的研究为基础，与残疾人一起工作，这项工作将汇集残疾研究、残疾与音乐研究和现场音乐研究的当前研究，从音乐家、观众、场地工作人员和残疾人利益团体的角度探索进入现场音乐场所的途径。虽然格拉斯哥拥有世界著名的现场音乐场所（Time Out, 2014），但据估计，该市四分之一的人口（Glasgow Disability Alliance, 2022）是残疾人，由于当前文化、社会、财政、政治和立法的影响，由于一系列物理和非物理障碍，许多人面临着进入这些场所的挑战。（世界卫生组织，2011;Barr 2022）这项研究将音乐家定位为现场音乐行业变革的推动者，有能力影响他们表演的场所的政策和实践，在现场音乐场所内进行访问变化，以改善整个音乐现场行业的改善和多样化。

This research will explore accessibility within Glasgow's live music industries for those who work in and utilise live music venues. Working with disabled people, supported by the Musicians Union and built on my previous research on the topic, this work will bring together current research from Disability Studies, Disability and Music Studies, and Live Music Studies to explore access to live music venues from the perspectives of musicians, audiences, venue workers, and disability interest groups.While Glasgow is home to world-renowned live music venues (Time Out, 2014) it is estimated that a quarter of the city's population (Glasgow Disability Alliance, 2022) are disabled, with many facing challenges to access such venues due to a series of physical and non-physical barriers, influenced by current culture, society, finances, politics, and legislation. (World Health Organisation, 2011; Barr 2022)This research positions musicians as agents of change within the live music industries, with the capacity to influence policy and practice across sites they perform, with access changes within live music venues for the betterment and diversification of the entire music live industries.
