4Wall Europe discuss life in lockdown, Smart AV and modern technology

AS WE APPROACH THE 2,000 GRANTS PAID MARK, WE THOUGHT WE’D PAUSE TO SALUTE THOSE ARTISTS AND INDUSTRY COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE DONATED PRIZES, MONEY, PERFORMANCES, SPONSORSHIP, TIME, ENERGY, BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS TO RAISE MONEY FOR LIVE EVENT CREW AND TECHS THAT FELL INTO THE GAPS IN GOVERNMENT SUPPORT.

Top billing from a support cast of hundreds goes to the amazing Mr David Stopps, marshalling initial support and building the #ILoveLive project with the rock solid support of Ian McAndrew, Lucy Putman, Tom Schroeder, Andy Prevezer, Morad Khokar and the generosity of Crowdfunder.co.uk – give Max a pay rise!

From the volunteer trustees; Kel Murray, David NG Lawrence, Chris Coates, Andy Lenthall and Martin Clowes, under the calm and expert stewardship of our Chair, Mike Lowe, thank you.
