And make no mistake, unlike most of the so called legitimate industries that the feds were quick to recognize and compensate, the music industry, because it is essentially a gig economy was largely ignored and has simply ground to a halt..
To put it simply, in our business, live music supports all the other players in the food chain so if we can’t play.. they can’t work either.
Meanwhile the rules around live performance have shifted and changed with each outbreak.
And will probably change again..
So you can well imagine how important it is to get back out there as soon as we can..
but in a strange way, the sheer lack of work has drawn us closer to what we most value about live music itself..
