We really miss live performance in general and Glastonbury in particular. So when we saw the option to donate to Stagehand we thought we thought we'd do this direct with you.

Huge thanks to Stagehand for your hard work to help live events crew. I recommended the fund to a family member (live sound engineer) whose work/livelihood has been annihilated by the pandemic. He recently received a grant which reminded me to make a donation! I wish it could be more but I also work in live music as an agent and promoter, so have also lost most of my income in the last year. Fortunately for me my partner has a steady job so we'll be OK. I'll share the appeal with my mailing list and on soci

Its been a catastrophic year for the events industry. I've been lucky enough to receive some state support and to have a partner who has been able to largely support our household. I know many have not been so lucky. My best wishes to everybody in the industry for a safe, secure and happy Christmas, and a much better 2021.

Daniel Porter

Thankyou for bringing us these events in these strange times, I am donating after seeing Kim, Ricky and Scarlett Wilde (and Neil of course) as we'd normally see them in a Christmas show, wonderful to see and hear them all. Brilliant work - many thanks.

An excellent and, sadly, necessary fund. Stay well and, hopefully, you'll be back in venues soon.

Ryan

The government's lack of support for the arts is disgusting. It's an absolute travesty that they have abandoned an entire sector that not only enriches millions of people's lives but also significantly boosts the economy in the areas where live events take place. My donation is meagre unfortunately but it's the best I can do to show my support for the arts sector. Hopefully this will all be over soon!

Live music is wonderful and I want to support those people who rely on it for their income.

Now more than ever, everyone in the music industry needs our support. I don't want to live in a world with no live music ❤

Our son is a lighting technician. He is in the lucky position of having no major outgoings and can live with us, his parents, until the opportunity to resume touring. He has found a temporary job. But others from his industry are not so lucky. We want to help.

I work in the arts and have had the pleasure and privilege of working with some fantastic tech. crew over the years. I know exactly how hard they work to make the show happen, and I am all too aware of the devastation to the industry that Covid-19 has caused. Good luck and here's to better times in 2021!

Good luck everyone! One thing - I think the donate button could be easier to find on your site. Unless I was being thick it took me a while to find it. I would put a big fat ‘Donate’ button in the header of your homepage.
