Our last gig before lockdown was an absolute stonker on the Isle of Man. How many "last gigs before lockdown" will become "last gigs ever"? We are so lucky in this country to have an incredible network of venues and events. But for how much longer? #letthemusicplay #yesimangry

March 15th 2020 was the last time Peter Knight and John Spiers last played together before #lockdown...a tour cut short by several dates. #LetTheMusicPlay

Help us cover the costs for postponing our festival to 2021 and nab yourself some merch too! crowdfunder.co.uk/support-pvff

Live music is a complex web of bookers,suppliers, production staff, crew and technicians many of which have had zero support. We don't know when shows will return but what we do know is that we are about to lose a huge amount of skilled people No crew, no shows! This is not OK.

We may not be able to meet in person this year, but let’s meet online instead?! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled and follow our Facebook page closely. We’ll be hosting some online stuff during the festival weekend. facebook.com/purbeck.folk/

Please, Oliver Dowden. Now that it's for the long haul. Shorter concerts, no intervals, no removal of masks. Arguably safer than all the fully booked planes serving refreshments, or sitting all evening unmasked in a restaurant, and it would save UK music.

Hi #RishiSunak. I've been thinking about what makes a viable business. Here's a little story for you. Barbara is a clarinettist. After 20 yrs' training & highly competitive auditions, she won a job in a prestigious London orchestra. As well as playing at the Royal Albert Hall 1/
