Support for the live music industry ‘must continue’ ahead of planned reopening, sector spokespeople say.
After almost 12 months of shuttered clubs and music venues, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave hope to the sector in a press conference yesterday (22nd), announcing that nightclubs across the country could be reopened as soon as the 21st June.
In response to the possible reopening dates, which will only go ahead if the government's "four conditions" are met at each phase of lockdown easing, workers, organisations and spokespeople for the UK's live music and night time economy have urged the government to continue providing financial support to the sector.
