How big they are
From the accounts filed at Companies House by the performing arts companies in this area. Sole traders publish nothing, so they are counted above but contribute nothing here — which is itself the point: the majority of this craft is invisible to any measure built on filings.

Balance-sheet totals, because turnover is not in small-company filings. Employee counts are averages of people under contract and exclude freelancers, so for a craft that runs on freelance work they understate the real number of people making a living from it.
