Katie Fitzgeralds Local Crew

Katie Fitzgerald's Local Crew support is raising money for local techs and workers in the music industry. This is in response to the information that the local food bank has seen demand from sound engineers and lighting techs. Despite all our own difficulties here at Katie Fitzgeralds and the latest setback to our re opening, people who work in these support industries have been decimated by the current situation and will have seen all hope of a quick return to touring and events disappear for the immediate future in this third lockdown. Many of these people are hard working independent people with families, who with great skills and and constant hard work have built careers that are now under threat. Many of them will have seen very little support from government if any. We are world leaders in this field here in the UK and we need to support those grassroots workers if we are to see the successful return of the amazing range of Festivals and events that provide such a valuable social and cultural contribution to the life of our country and to the whole world. This fundraiser will through mutual support and with a range of actions look to provide financial help to local crew living in Stourbridge and eventually if possible further afield. I am pleased to announce that we can start the ball rolling with £250 from the Stourbridge Foundation 4 music.
