Pretty disgusted to read this this morning! ! @Sainsbury Being self employed is not a euphemism for unemployed it’s a choice about how you choose to lead your life and earn a living. I presume you don’t mind self employed spending in your stores and online?
Come on government vaccinate ALL teachers whether full time or peripatetic before opening schools!! As there are still nursing staff who’ve not been vaccinated yet it seems there’s still a few more people in front in the queue...@BorisJohnson @JHowellUK @RishiSunak@OliverDowden
If you need a little sunshine and fun in your life right now order @SGLewis_ new album #Times It should come with a health warning that it’ll brighten up your day and make you want to ‘dance it out!’ 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈#newmusic
This album is an ode to the present moment, and the finite chances we have to celebrate it. It’s an exploration of escapism and euphoria, and the memories attached to those experiences.

Hear our Call!! Don’t forget us!! Dear UK government and the EU please can you work together to find a solution so Musicians, creatives and their teams of crew can still work and tour freely. @letmusicliveuk

You might want to check this statement that starts "Indoor household mixing is banned and you must visit or stay with anyone that is not in your household or support bubble....."?!?! @HertsMercury
Thanks for all your support over the years @BridgeViolins as loved using my Golden Tasman Cello to create this album with the brilliant team of sound wizards @jpickeringmusic @rimshotstudios
Nearly 70% of professional musicians have had little to no work since March 2020. 33% are amongst the 3 million #excludeduk. We are the soundtrack to your lives... for now. Watch https://t.co/bB9RS84fo2 #letmusiclive#ExcludedUK
Furlough extended the day after it stopped - at 80% of wage.
1/3 of self employed still have received no help, SEISS stopped in Aug. Sept & Oct completely ignored. Nov-Jan at capped at 40% - no money til Dec. How is this “parity” in any way @RishiSunak ?! (RT Jess Murphy)
👉Musicians do not need to reskill. They need meaningful support through #Covid19UK while they are prevented from working.
👉The £1.57bn is going to buildings and organisations – not the musicians, freelancers and other workers who make these places great.
#MusicDeservesBetter
Not that you need me to point this out but if you have a burning desire to be creative and to work in the arts, do NOT rethink, reskill or reboot. Just keep fucking going.
#letmusiclive INCREDIBLE to have been part of this musical protest today! So good to see so many brilliantly talented musicians performing together, all be it for 90seconds. Hope the government will allow us to do what we do best and bring music back to the UK soon ❤️ @WeAreTheMU
400 freelancers gathered today in parliament square, to state their case. (Safely). Their discipline & the sound created brought tears. They are viable & visible and desperate to safely get back to work! work with them #freelancers#letmusiclive@letmusicliveuk#mars
This is not good enough. Extending the income support schemes is welcome, but is the Government expecting musicians to survive on 20% of their usual income? And will they just continue to ignore the 38% of musicians who fall through gaps in #SEISS? We need clarity now.
