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.

On the 6th October 200 musicians will give a socially distanced performance at Parliament Square to highlight the need to #SaveTheArtsUK #letmusiclive #musiciansunion

#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 ❤️ Musicians' Union

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.

👉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

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 Rishi Sunak ?! (RT Jess Murphy)

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 youtu.be/znaXJT7M_hc #letmusiclive #ExcludedUK

Great to hear Mark Kermode play one of @jpickeringmusic's tracks from the upcoming County Lines BFI #Film on his Magic Classical show yesterday. You can hear it at 48 minutes although the whole show is worth listening to! #recording #mixing #mastering bit.ly/3lxIl1n

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?
