Pohl is first woman to lead Musicians’ Union

The Musicians' Union has elected NAOMI POHL as General Secretary, the first woman to hold the post in its 129 year history.

Pohl has worked for the MU since 2009, holding senior positions such as Deputy General Secretary and National Organiser for Recording and Broadcasting. She is also a former Assistant General Secretary of the Writers' Guild of Great Britain.

"To musicians who have been underrepresented by the union in the past… I am here to listen and make sure your voices are heard. I will make myself available and ensure I am present in the spaces where you work," she said.

"After the toughest imaginable two years for musicians there is plenty of work to do."
