Rejected petition Mr. Sunak. Support live music & events workers until Govt re-opens our sector!

Rishi Sunak.

First to lock down, still banned from working. We’ve campaigned with #WeMakeEvents & #LetTheMusicPlay. We’ve implored. The 1.57billion doesn’t help us contractors. You’re killing live music. Please support us if you value the arts as you say you do or uk live music will die.

More details

The UK live music sector brings billions to the economy yearly.
The same sector employs thousands of highly skilled industry professionals, all of whom have had no work for the past 6 months with little likelihood of restarting until Spring 2021.

Without support all of us could lose their livelihoods for good.

We are calling for meaningful support from the Government. We need it now. If the U.K. is truly a democracy, then STOP IGNORING US!
