#letthemusicplay 🎧

here at Bread Records we stand in full support of the #letthemusicplay initiative – we need a proper plan for how live music is going to deal with the consequences of coronavirus and extended isolation. we all know that the arts are essential, with everyone relying on music, films, books, and so forth for entertainment – so why are we being neglected in the time of need?

the second photo we shared is an extract from the https://www.ukmusic.org/ website, detailing some of the biggest parts of a music industry hit by a pandemic. it’s extremely important for us to be supporting local music and musicians, which many of us have been doing!! but it’s also very difficult for us to support every single venue, every label, every PR team out there – this is why we’re joining up and calling on the government to provide further help for the industry 🙌

find out more over at https://www.ukmusic.org/policy/let-the-music-play – email your local MP, tweet your opinions to policymakers over on Twitter, there’s plenty of things you can do! 🍞
