And now there are more benefits available to AFM members than ever before, including a multi-million dollar pension fund, excellent contract protection, instrument and travelers insurance, work referral programs and access to licensed booking agents to keep you working.

As an AFM member, you are part of a membership of more than 80,000 musicians. Experience has proven that collective activity on behalf of individuals with similar interests is the most effective way to achieve a goal.

Like the industry, the AFM is also changing and evolving, and its policies and programs will move in new directions dictated by its members. As a member, you will determine these directions through your interest and involvement.

Ringo Starr Knighted by Prince William

  -  

On March 20, Prince William bestowed the honor of knighthood on former Beatle Ringo Starr, a member of Local 47 (Los Angeles, CA), at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace. The designation comes 53 years after all of the Fab Four were awarded MBE (the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, a grade of British chivalry) in October 1965.

When asked whether he wanted to be known as Sir Ringo, the musician, whose real name is Richard Starkey, told reporters: “I don’t know yet. It’s new and I don’t know how you use it properly.”

Fellow Beatle Paul McCartney was knighted in 1997. Other musical knights are Elton John, Rod Stewart, and Mick Jagger.
