MUSIC BEYOND MAINSTREAM LTD 

Our primary activity is to produce, co-produce and promote concert events and to produce them as touring productions to ensure wide public distribution within the UK. Our concert tour activity is focussed on delivering events that have considerable artistic value and merit but which could not be realised regionally by the commercial sector.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
