17.01.2022 We're just a tiny cog in this massive industry, but over the last few years we've tried to add a little something extra to the local scene here in Jersey in terms of an additional resource. We have invested heavily in research, infrastructure and equipment, paid huge amounts of rent (hey, it's Jersey) and (after every single pre-booked event in 2020 got cancelled), earned 0.00 in 2020 for our efforts. Coincidentally, that's also exactly how much we've received in support fr...om the Government - 0.00, nothing, nada, that's right, we've received absolutely nothing. We simply don't qualify. So we're finding other ways to pay for rent and upkeep & storage of equipment, but basically we're robbing Peter to pay Paul... Here at BacklineJsy we #standasone along side some of the larger Jersey firms, other small event companies like us and the entire industry whose overheads must be even more frightening in these incredibly difficult & challenging times. Here's a few of our favourite photos from #WeMakeEvents Global Action Day across Europe and South Africa so far tonight! The day continues worldwide as the USA, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and many more get ready to Stand As One and #LightItInRed for #WeMakeEvents.

09.01.2022 #letthemusicplay Covid-19 shut our industry down in March along with everything else. No-one knows for sure when it will start back again, but we do know that we are amongst the last when it comes to reopening. Today we start a campaign #letthemusicplay because we need to be heard. We need the people of this country and it's government to acknowledge that the live music industry is on its knees.... Without assistance businesses will go bankrupt, jobs will be lost, venues will close and some festivals will never come back again. There are 1000s of self-employed workers, bands and musicians that rely on the live industry for their work. This is an industry that in 2019 employed over almost a quarter of a million people and added 4.5 billion to the UK economy. It’s a business that rarely asks for assistance. It’s a business that is known throughout the world for producing some of the best festivals, live bands, skilled workers etc. We are world leaders at what we do. We need the Government to acknowledge that it is not financially viable for venues and festivals to reopen with current social distancing measures in place. So, becuase of that, we need to see financial assistance or these businesses will not be there when we can finally reopen. We need a reduction on VAT as other countries have given their cultural sectors. We need these measures and more to survive. Please make some noise for live music #letthemusicplay
