LIVE MUSIC RETURNS FROM AUGUST 1ST There was great news for the pubs, clubs and live music venues of South Yorkshire last week when the Prime Minister announced that, from August 1st, live music would once again be allowed indoors. Indoor venues will have to be “Covid-secure”. It means audiences will remain socially distanced at all times, with a raft of other measures expected

to be implemented for dedicated venues, such as regular deep cleans, reduced capacities, online ticketing and staggered performance schedules. The move to allow indoor gigs in England represents a move into Stage Four of the government’s previously issued roadmap. We have been at Stage 3 for a short while, allowing for

outdoor performances. However the Government have moved quickly to the next stage, with pilots already taking place for orchestras and larger performances. The Government also announced that they are working towards reopening sporting venues sometime in October great news for fans of our local sports teams, who have been obliged to

watch their teams on TV (in the case of football) or whose sport hasn’t been played at all during this period. However the news is great for our local smaller venues where typically solo artists, duo and bands will find it much easier to comply with the requirements, and venues which have already re-opened will generally find there is little extra provision to be made before allowing artists back on stage. We understand a number of venues are busy making arrangements to present performances from the

very first opportunity, and of course we will be bringing details for our readers as soon as they become available. It’s been a long time coming, and extremely frustrating for the hundreds of local artists who have been forced to sit and wait for the situation to improve but the Prime Minister’s announcement that he is aiming for a return to normal by November - however optimistic gives some hope to both performers and venues who have struggled to survive through this period.
