Lewis Capaldi will be performing a live streamed Amazon Music gig on October 9th to help raise money for grassroots music venues in the UK.
A half-hour set has been arranged at an intimate venue as part of Amazon Prime Day Live, providing much needed support to the independent venues which have been so damaged by lockdown. “Many of the UK’s iconic grassroots music venues remain at significant risk of permanent closure, which is not just catastrophic for everyone associated with each and every venue, but for UK music culture in general,” Mark Davyd, founder of the Music Venue Trust, comments.
“Amazon Music was one of the first donors for our COVID-19 Crisis fund earlier this year, and we’re excited they are continuing their support through this Prime Day Live event to help us raise awareness of the plight of venues and help drive much-needed donations to keep them open. Every penny helps, so we are also hugely grateful for Amazon’s donations and any further support from the public.”
