Steffen Rabe, a booker with FKP Scorpio, who lives in Germany and has worked with Amanda Palmer, Pond and Gov’t Mule: “Our human resources handles all this. There are grants available from state and federal [governments] but it depends in company sizes.”

Question 1: How has the pandemic impacted your sector and more particularly you and your job so far?
Steffen Rabe, a booker with FKP Scorpio, who lives in Germany and has worked with Amanda Palmer, Pond and Gov’t Mule: “It’s all about postponing show by show (tour by tour) unfortunately. One of my tours I actually had to postpone for the fifth time. We can’t estimate the best touring period in future, so I am concentrating now on 2022. If an agent is focusing on a European tour, it is much more difficult because of the different situation in each country.”
