Bristol Named UK’s Most Musical Town
Latest research undertaken by PRS for Music, the organisation that collects royalties on behalf of composers and songwriters, today reveals that Bristol has ‘produced’ more musicians by size of population than any other town in the UK.
PRS for Music conducted the research to see which regions produced the most musicians as opposed to where they currently live. Whereas London has the greatest number of musicians living there, but it didn’t make the top 20 for musical births, coming in at number 26.

don't understand these stats
is it place of birth or residence or simply where they send the cheques as unless Bono's secret accounts are in the Swinton on Wakey high street the Cribs are making shed loads from hanging around with Johnny Marr!
