He made his name with chart-topping hits – now the Scope chair wants to change how society sees disability
Pop mogul Sir Robin Millar is not a man who you would expect to struggle with access in the music industry.
In a glittering career that spans decades, he has worked alongside some of the most celebrated names in British music, from Sade to Boy George, and counts legends such as the Rolling Stones among his list of A-list friends.
But a recent struggle to get a ticket for a concert was nothing his profile could solve. Instead, it was his status as a disabled person that caused him difficulty.
Millar tells the anecdote with a sarcastic world-weariness. A music venue refused to sell him a ticket for an accessible seat unless he could provide “proof of disability.”
