Save Our Scene to host protests in London and Bristol this week to support musicians
Save Our Scene have announced new protests in London and Bristol this week to support musicians struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following last month's two-wheeled protest in London, Save Our Scene will return with two bike protests this week in Bristol and London to show support and raise awareness for musicians struggling during the pandemic.
The upcoming protests will be led by a Land Rover featuring a fully equipped DJ booth, and the London protest will feature Jess Bays b2b with Josh Parkinson.
Save Our Scene have partnered with Help Musicians for the campaign which aims to raise funds for musicians unable to get financial aid from the government.
The London protest takes place on 2 December from 7pm GMT, beginning at Hyde Park (Speakers Corner) and ending at Parliament Square. The Bristol protest takes place the following day (3 December) at 7pm GMT, travelling from Clifton Downs to St Andrew’s Park.
Save Our Scene founder George Fleming says, "As instructed by the Government, the music industry is getting on their bike. Our aim is to bring music lovers and professionals together and show the Government how important it is to protect the arts. We will be protesting until we see change, we cannot stop and must stand strong for what we believe in."
Fleming adds, "The first protest in London was so successful back in October and we’re confident that it’s only going to get bigger. I’m excited to take the campaign to Bristol. The city is one of the most musically eclectic in the country. If you love music and have not been to Bristol before, now is your chance!"
