Kicking off our second Recovery Sessions – our new monthly series of conversations on the latest developments around the COVID-19 pandemic & the roadmap to reopening – was this conversation about the commercial live music business becoming more organised in speaking to governments and authorities.
The Private Sector: Finding a voice brought together Chair Greg Parmley (ILMC/LIVE (UK)), Evelyn Richardson (Live Performance Australia (AU)), Alex Schulz (Reeperbahn Festival (DE)), Jonathan Lomax (The Blakeney Group (UK)) and Erin Benjamin (Canadian Live Music Association (CA)) to discuss what less engaged markets can learn from their neighbours, and how important relationships with politicians will be in a post-Covid world.
