What a shame.

Big earner that, they are going to lose millions.
That's held in June, wonder if many more concerts are going to go the same way.
We had one cancelled in September last year, which was put forward 12 months, hope that
doesn't go the same way again.

We’ve had two cancelled this year in May and June.

It's the knock on effect for the businesses that has pitches there and around the surrounding areas.

It’s not just the bigger events that have been badly hit. Think of all the smaller gigs that have had to be cancelled. I know a lot of musicians that have had no income for a long time and many of them not eligible for the small grants offered by the government.
I’ve really missed our jazz gigs in Swansea and wonder how many venues will still be open when this pandemic eventually disappears. Sad times all round.

The scale of organisation it takes to put something like that together, they just can't chance doing it, sinking the costs in and then maybe having to cancel.

Huge blow to many small businesses.

It was mentioned today that the current restrictions could last until, at least, May....grim.
