It is heartbreaking to experience the fear out there in the music community as people try to come to terms with the fact that they may not have any income for months. legendary musicians who have entertained us for years but rely on the touring circuit for income are having to deal with Centrelink to get Government assistance.
Many music industry workers who are having to adapt during this unprecedented time, including artists, crew, management, promoters, vendors and publicists to name a few, may be struggling with the enormity of it all.
