Musician Frank Turner says lockdown delay is 'disheartening'
The singer-songwriter has warned that a delay to the end of lockdown will tip some music businesses into "final collapse".
In a thread on Twitter, Turner, who is a patron of the Music Venue Trust, described the impact a delay will have on the live music sector.
Turner said the last weeks have been "about the hardest part of the whole shebang" with regards to "mental health, morale and economics".
He wrote: "So it looks like the lifting of social restrictions here in the UK is going to be pushed back again today. It's disheartening, but it is what it is. A quick thought tho.
"I'm not an epidemiologist, and I'm not here to argue the medical/scientific side of things. It may well be this is the right thing to do. A small point I feel bound to make is this:
"A *lot* of people are loudly asking the question 'What's the big deal? How much of a difference does a 4 week delay (or whatever) make?' And the answer to that is, for some of us, a lot.
"Some people, as far as I can tell, are not far off being back to living their normal lives. And that's great, I'm happy for them. Some of us really, really aren't.
"The delay is going to tip some businesses into final collapse. It's another blow to morale, another financial loss, after an appalling year and more.
"That's just in my industry, live music. There are many more affected by this."
