Live Sector To Hold #WeMakeEvents Day Of Action
It takes place on September 30th...
The live music sector will unite for the *#WeMakeEvents* day of action on September 30th.
The pandemic has crippled live music, with curfews, enforced shutdowns, and caps on the volume of performances rendering live music next to impossible.
Some countries - notably on mainland Europe - have provided funding for creative industries impacted by this... the UK's response, however, has been lacklustre.
Now the #WeMakeEvents campaign aims to hold a day of action, a 24 hour protest alerting others to their plight.
In the UK alone, more than one million jobs are at risk in night time economies, an area that generates up to £6 billion in annual income.
Glastonbury figure Emily Eavis is amongst those getting behind the campaign.
We need to support the live music and events industry. Please get behind #WeMakeEvents' day of action on Wednesday. https://t.co/ZvXZf2g8jW pic.twitter.com/zjz5UMnTqa
