Music & You have teamed up with beauty cosmetics company Lush, author and entrepreneur Zoe Sugg aka Zoellla and mental health campaign #IAmWhole to create a fund, providing free therapeutic support to those who are working or used to work in the live music sector pre-pandemic.
With gigs, festivals and other music events all but cancelled for over 16 months and the ongoing restrictions caused by new variants resulting in either making touring not viable, or attendance for sold-out shows not reaching above 50% due to no-shows in a lot of instances, many of those who work in the live music sector have found themselves either out of work, out of pocket or both, with the latest figures showing over a third of jobs in the live sector lost in the past 21 months.
To apply, individuals need to complete the application form using the link below, by no later than midnight on Thursday 20th January. Applicants will be notified by Saturday 22nd January of a decision, and we hope to support as many people as we can with the funding provided.
