The Arts contribute more to the UK economy than the Fishing Industry, Football or Aviation. But more than this, there's a real contribution to our culture and life!
Calling all musicians and music fans ... we need your help
Action taking place this week... Thursday 2nd July
The Agents Association have joined with CPA, National Arenas Association, and the British Association of Concert Halls to commence a political lobbying campaign which will highlight the problems the industry is facing, and to call for Government action. They are asking for financial support and a definitive timeline for re-opening. Tens of thousands of jobs are at stake ....artists,crews,techs, sound & light companies, the list goes on.
To show support :
Thursday this week (2/7/20), share images of your favourite gig last year under the banner with the aim to get it trending. Ask your friends to also share the posts. Or just share this post!
It is hoped that by creating noise and highlighting the importance of live entertainment, the Government will have to listen and respond. We must protect the UK live music industry.
