When we mention club furniture on this blog, we often talk about sports clubs and members-only social clubs, two of the main types of organisation that might have premises to furnish - but the 2015 Budget speech brought some good news for music clubs too.
That is because orchestras have been added to the list of creative industries that qualify for extra government assistance, and that could mean those who have been waiting to buy new music club furniture are able to do so more easily as the new financial year gets underway.
Creative industries have been a focal point in the Budget for a number of years now, with special assistance given to the UK's successful videogames industry in particular to help keep it competitive on the world stage.
But this is the first time orchestras have been singled out for similar help, recognising both the creative merit of music in an orchestral setting, and the cultural and economic significance of instrumental music groups too.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said in his speech: "Our creative industries are already a huge contributor to the British economy, and today we make our TV and film tax credits more generous, expand our support for the videogames industry, and we launch our new tax credit for orchestras.
"Britain is a cultural centre of the world and, with these tax changes, I'm determined we will stay in front."
The tax credit applies to Corporation Tax charged to orchestras, and means they will qualify for 25% tax relief on relevant expenditure from April 1st 2016 - this is part of the upcoming Future Finance Bill, and the government is due to publish responses to a consultation on the Bill soon.
Orchestra furniture is more than just somewhere to sit; it is of course an integral part of the orchestra itself, particularly for instruments like the cello, double bass or harp, where the player may be seated with their instrument on the floor.
Good music club furniture should be comfortable for long periods of seated playing, and allow good movement of the arms where required, putting the music first and foremost, with the comfort of the player kept firmly in mind too.
