In partnership with University of Liverpool, Bido Lito! Magazine is coordinating research into the effects of lockdown and social distancing on Liverpool City Region’s crucial music sector.
The survey is open to all musicians and music makers operating in the LCR and is the first stage of a wider research project entitled ‘Playing In’, which aims to contribute to a roadmap to recovery for the region’s music industry. Initial findings from the Playing In survey will be published in issue 109 of Bido Lito! which is due to go to print in late August.
The survey, open now, impacts on release schedules and creative loss, cancellation of live shows and touring plans and implications for revenue costs. The research will produce a comprehensive picture of how Covid-19 has affected one of Liverpool's most important industries.
All musicians and music makers in the city region are encouraged to respond to the survey before the deadline of Friday 7 August, it should take around 15-20 minutes to complete.
The research findings will be presented to the Liverpool Music Region Music Board to help facilitate a recovery plan for the sector, as activity looks to returns in a new capacity with the government signalling live music can return from August.
Take the survey now.
