Bands rally to help as jobless roadies turn to food banks

Last modified on Sun 21 Feb 2021 00.11 EST Road crew for some of the biggest bands in music are being forced into homelessness and turning to food banks to survive during the pandemic. Stagehand, the charity for roadies, has given more than 1,000 grants so far and said 13% of those receiving money had needed support from food banks. It said about 20% of stage hands have not qualified for any government help during the pandemic, including the £4.5bn freelance fund and £1.5bn arts grants. Musicians and performers have rallied with personal donations and fundraising, but Andy Lenthall, the general manager of the Production Services Association, which set up the charity, said people were still “slipping through the cracks”.

Music industry: Government response to visa-free touring not good enough

Advertisement Another repeated sentiment was that Brexit only stood to damage the UK’s “soft power” as a leading force in music, and that visa-free travel throughout the EU for artists and crew would be the easiest solution. After the UK government said they put the responsibility for the lack of arrangements for artists at the foot of the EU and the European Commission then denied that they had rejected the UK’s “ambitious proposals”, yesterday’s debate saw the Conservative Minister for Digital and Culture in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media Caroline Dineage reject the idea that negotiating visa-free touring was an option and repeated that “the UK pushed for ambitious arrangements” but claim that “quite simply the EU rejected this and there was no counter offer”.
