300 Days Without Work For Musicians And Live Events Workers

Today, over 5,000 musicians and road crew will have been without work for 300 days according to the Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland. 

The MEAI say that the music and live events industry was the first to close and will be the last to reopen and they are calling on the Government for more support.
