23.01.2022 Cherry Massive, we need your help to SAVE OUR SCENE... 1. Please SHARE this post 2. Please SIGN our petition... 3. Please LIKE the 'Save Our Scene' FaceBook page 4. PLEASE take the time to read and support our pleas below. Posting in solidarity with every sticky carpet bandroom, club and live music loving pub that is facing permanent closure. Posting in solidarity with artists, from whom more stages mean more opportunities to work and play. Posting in solidarity with the music fans who fill these rooms. Please share. Please like and follow: www.facebook.com/saveourscene.vic Please sign the petition (SCROLL DOWN on your phone): https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au//view-e-p/details/12/199 ------- AN OPEN LETTER FROM MUSIC VENUES TO THE VICTORIAN PARLIAMENT Victoria’s famous music scene is on the brink of collapse and there’s no relief in sight. We are calling on the Victorian Government to step in and save our proud music culture by preserving the venues where artists play. Live music means mass gatherings, so it will be many months before our state's music venues can safely reopen our doors at viable capacities. In the meantime, our venues are being crippled by mounting debt including rent, mortgage payments, bills and insurance. Without Government intervention, many of the venues you love will be forced to close their doors permanently. From Victoria's small clubs to our iconic band rooms, the places where you go to listen, dance, share and celebrate music will start to disappear. Stages that nurture emerging artists to those that house Australia's and world’s biggest touring acts will go, and who knows what will replace them. Why does it matter? Music is who we are. It is a cornerstone of Victoria’s identity as the creative state, it is something that we are known for around the world, and it is a huge economic driver. Melbourne has more live music venues per capita than any other city in the world. The 700 music venues across Victoria host approximately 100,000 gigs a year, with an estimated economic impact of $1.42 billion generated from live music, clubs and festivals. Melbourne’s live music venues have an audience of 112,000 every Saturday night more than an AFL grand final. The industry generates tens of thousands of jobs, from musicians and DJs to bookers, promoters, publicists, venue operators, hospitality and bar staff, technicians, security staff and a vast network of ancillary suppliers and contractors. Music venues are the critical infrastructure of this industry. If our venues disappear, the live music economy will disappear, and our cultural heritage will go with it. Australian artists will have fewer places to perform, to grow, to find fans. At exactly the time when more local stages are needed - because international borders are closed - we will lose them. If we lose the venues, we will lose the artists too. Our music venues cannot survive without Victorian Government intervention. So please, protect our music venues. Support our artists. Save our scene.

Live music defines this city. It is its soul. It represents a $1.4B industry sector in Victoria and it attracts artists and tourists from around the globe. Make no mistake, Melbourne risks losing its very heart right now. We only get one chance. Are we going to continue and flourish as the world leader in live music or are we going to be a soulless city with a decimated live music scene that can never recover. Today that choice resides with our elected Government... James Young Owner/Booker Cherry Bar, City Yah Yah’s, Fitzroy Westwood Hotel, Footscray.
