Jar Mills Studios/Mabgate Bleach Emergency Fund
Donation protected
Dear all,
Unfortunately in these testing and seemingly desperate times we are going to have to ask for your help.
Due to the current COVID-19 advice and this ever evolving situation around us, we have experienced almost 100% cancellations of our bookings. And we do not blame you - we fully respect everyone’s efforts to contain the situation.
However, as we are a small independent business that relies on gigs, rehearsals, recording sessions, photography, equipment rental (for shows), exams and tuition - as you can imagine we are struggling to cover any of our costs.
Those that have been down will know we work very closely with the venue Mabgate Bleach who run some of the best underground DIY shows in town and who are also struggling due to having all their shows cancelled for the foreseeable. Any funds will be split up accordingly.
Some bookings have offered to pay cancellation fees which we hugely appreciate, but we are not going to ask for cancellation costs in this current situation when it literally can not be avoided. With rent fast approaching and no concrete response (As of yet) from our landlord, we have had to take action and ask the good people of the internet to spare whatever they can to help us out. Any updates on support from the government that we receive will be updated on here.
Lastly if you cannot donate, please share and tag those that you think may like to help.
Many many MANY thanks,
Danny.
