Music In Lockdown Part 1 - The Industry At Large
Life in lockdown has been tough on everyone, but, as one of the first to close and likely last to re-open, the music industry has ground to such a dramatic halt many fear it may never recover. Join Nick, Joe & Ollie from Follower, for the first ever episode of the 'Behind The Mic' podcast: the show where we'll be peeling back the curtain on life on and off-stage trying to learn a little along the way.
🎧 Listen on Anchor: https://anchor.fm/followerbtm (https://anchor.fm/followerbtm)

Hot off the back of the #LetTheMusicPlay campaign, in Part 1 of this 3-Part Lockdown series, with 90% of grassroots venues under threat of closure, we discuss the effect on the industry at large - who's been hit hardest, what does it mean for the economy and what the road to recovery might look like. It's not all doom and gloom; over the next week, we'll be looking at the highs and lows of how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us as individuals, as well as how people have been turning crisis into opportunity. Tune in later this week for Part 2!
