Musicians’ Union

I hope this goes some way to support those musicians with limited work at the moment, from the sales of my plants.

All the best with this difficult situation all you musicians and support workers. We miss you.

I am a musician myself and my earnings have been badly affected by the Coronavirus. However, I am lucky as I have the support of family and a husband who still has a job that is not part of the music industry. For anyone who has had their musical livelihood stripped away from them I feel saddened in my heart. Never have we needed music more in our lives!

Musicians provide an essential service, especially when times are tough. They deserve support x

I'm a musician teaching online. I wanted to help as I'm just about doing ok, and the videos will be lovely to send to students' parents in lieu of the usual paper card.

We know many musicians, music is essential to our personal wellbeing and that of the country. We believe that the government should be supporting the arts in these difficult times. When they are not doing their job, those of us who can have to step in.

My father was a professional musician and I know it would have been very hard to bring up a family during this time with no Music being performed to no income.

These funds were raised by our Platform Roots Live from a concert we put on for Chris Stern. Chris kindly donated all of the profits to this great cause.
