Hi! My name is Kathryn Phillips and I am a PhD student from Canterbury Christ Church University. My PhD concerns men who have experienced unwanted sexual contact in adulthood. The goal of my research is to make recommendations to the police to improve the police response to male survivors.

This post has been made to advertise my survey. The survey is for men who have experienced unwanted sexual contact and asks about your decision of whether to report the contact to the police, and if you did so, your experiences of the police. You do not need to have reported to the police in order to participate, however.

The survey is completely anonymous and all data will be held strictly confidential. If there are any questions in the survey you feel uncomfortable answering, you may skip these and leave them blank.

To be eligible to participate:

• You must have been 18 or over at the time of the latest unwanted sexual contact
• Be an adult male
• The offence(s) must have occurred in England and/or Wales

If you are interested in participating, you can find out more and participate by following this link: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/canterbury/mss

Any questions? You can email me (kp347@canterbury.ac.uk) or comment below.

Thank you.

EDIT: The survey will be closing 31st August 2024 at 11:59pm. Thank you so much to all those who participated and those who left kind comments.

We've got a bunch of gigs lined up and have been getting great feedback, but struggling to build up a steady audience.

Payment on a sliding scale - the better you promote our gigs and the more tickets we sell, the more money you make.

Are you the person to help? Reach out for more info.

Yeah so I’m trying to get a little retry pricy Italian instrument in the uk

There’s only a few European shops which stock it (Crumar mojo-cl) which are: Bax Music and Thomann

If I get it from Thomann I’ll have to pay a pretty hefty duty charge to the courier since we’re not in the EU

Bax Music claims to have a branch based in the uk. But I’ve heard mixed reports of whether you have to pay the extra 20%, and I’ve heard tons of horror stories about their customer service

Has anyone shopped from Bax before and know if these are true?

Does anyone know a better way to get EU made goods in the uk at retail price?

Cheers and regards

I'm currently doing a degree in music, as an assignment for one of my modules I'm researching the different ways musicians generate income. I'm particularly interested in exploring working musicians or people with higher education in music. If you're willing to sacrifice 5 minutes of your time, I'd be very interested and grateful to receive some responses from this group, the survey is anonymous and only 10 questions.

Here's the link: survey

Hey artists! I have the tools and resources to help you receive 1,000s of plays and views for your music if you’re willing to work with me at a very low price. I’ve been a part of this group for some time now and many of you guys have pretty good music. I have a Tik Tok social media account with over 33,000 followers and 1 million likes (Tiktok:samthekid). It’s a great app to promote your music and exponentially grow the amount of views and attention you’re currently receiving. If you’re interested in working together and drastically increasing the views of your music feel free to message me and we can discuss a plan/deal to bring traffic to your music. You can dm here or on instagram: samthekid_

Hey all. Wasn't sure what sub to post something like this on, but this seems to be the most likely one?

I want to start a Muse cover band. The aim would be to tour the UK and get lots of practice in to be as close to the real thing as possible. I am going to be the 'Morgan' which will consist of sorting all the synths, backing tracks, additional percussion and instrumentation. I will also sort all the guitar effects, bass effects and vocal effects. Everything will run through my rig and out to in-ear monitors. Is there anyone interested? and more importantly anyone who could come close to a Matt Bellamy out there?!

Hey, UK musicians! We recently launched an app to help other fellow musicians find people in their area to jam with. It’s available on iOS and will be soon on Android.

Please tell us what you think, feedback much appreciated!

Hey there! It's a must to have mobile credit card processing at shows if we want to sell merch, we lose too many sales if we don't have one. We use PayPal Here. We're about to go to Europe for a small tour, from what I can tell we can't bring our PayPal Here to do credit card transactions unless we have a bank account in one of those countries that we can link it to. Does anyone have any advice on what we can do to take credit cards at shows? Square? Or anything else?? (cross posted to r/touringmusicians)
