Call from the Royal Albert Hall
To coincide with the Royal Albert Hall’s statement to the DCMS Special Committee on the feasibility of places for open compliance with social estating rules, the place is pleasant in search of public donations to ensure their survival.
When the Covid-19 pandemic forced the Hall to close, it lost 96% of its source of income overnight. Over the next six months, he lost £ 18 million in revenue and had to pay more than £ 6. 5 million on ticket sales.
Despite recent fanfare over the government’s £ 1. 57 billion bailout package for the arts sector, the Hall is not eligible for an emergency grant, yet it has been asked to apply for a loan.
Craig Hassall, Executive Director of Royal Albert Hall, said: “Six months after the forced closure and around £ 18 million less in lost revenue, we are not eligible for any of the government’s emergency grants. This leaves us in a tight spot. Unbelievably dangerous, with no way to update our lost income, other than a government loan that might or might not materialize.
“We expressed our considerations months ago about the possibility that independent and un funded organizations, such as the Royal Albert Hall, would lack government support and, in particular, have been singled out by the government as a ‘crown jewel’ to be saved. . With millions of pounds of paints of essential structures halted due to Covid, we expected to be eligible for a capital subsidy, however, we have been told that since we are not a nationally divided site portfolio, we are not eligible for this. Program.
“We are fortunate to have supportive members and personal donors who have generously donated, but unfortunately, the fanfare of the ‘Rescue Package’ has given many potential donors the false feeling that we have sufficient support elsewhere. The Royal Albert Hall now faces a bleak long-term unless it can guarantee not only a repayable government loan, but also urgent donations to close our existing deficit of $20 million.

A new survey shows that 58% of companies in the night economy are concerned about not spending more than two months without further government support.

NTIA taught its members, operating in nightclubs, pubs, bars, concert halls, to assess the effect of the coronavirus pandemic. A third of respondents said that it had been reorganized with a typical charge of around 10-30,000 and with a dramatic negative effect on profitability.
Michael Kill, NTIA’s executive leader, said: “These effects seem to be the latest catastrophic blow to the night economy. These corporations can no longer fight for their survival. The night economy employs 1. 3 million more people in the UK and contributes 66 billion pounds to the UK economy in line with the year. Almost every single business is on a damaging cliff. These are the darkest days of the night economy.
“Without immediate additional assistance and without a transparent indication of when we can reopen, we face monetary armageddon. This will result in the loss of one of the main pillars of British artistic and cultural diversity. I implore the government to act on this data. Give us a transparent roadmap for when companies can reopen and make sure the money will be there to keep companies afloat monetarily for months to come.
NTIA is also part of a consortium that has presented a report, supported through the Institute of Occupational Medicine, which examines Covid-19 science and how to mitigate the spread of the virus and calls on the government to allow clubs to reopen across the country. UK and provides a roadmap for night spots, adding nightclubs, to do so safely and in accordance with government guidelines.

Singing studio
Responding to the effects of the PERFORM trial, Deborah Annetts, executive director of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, said: “While we welcome this research, it is to be feared that musicians will not be able to repaint full paintings until theaters can reopen safely and without social distancing. The government should produce transparent and factual rules to deal with the demanding situations highlighted through this exam around the volume of vocalizations, the number of participants and the duration of the activity . allow more of our members to return to paintings safely and contribute to rebuilding the music industry.
The exam follows a coordinated open letter through ISM and Equity, which requested an extension of the money for freelancers until the spring of next year.
