What's it all about?
With the current Covid 19 pandemic having hit the live music industry very hard and putting some incredibly hard-working people out of work for months now, there is still no light at the end of this tunnel. The live music industry was the first to halt all work and will, most likely, be the last to re-start.
We at Allotment Productions are still trying to navigate through this unprecedented time but we have taken the initiative to help as much as we can and the only way we know how.
There have been some great initiatives from various companies and artists to try and help support their crews however there are some members that seem to have been overlooked. The touring merchandise managers and reps, the smiley happy faces of the touring industry that you as a punter will have had the pleasure of meeting if you have ever bought a souvenir from an event you have attended over the years.
A lot of these men and women are self-employed and have unfortunately somehow slipped through the gaps of the government grants and furlough schemes, they are in dire need of some support. For those who were lucky enough to be included in any of these schemes, they now face the challenge of their support being stopped by the government.
By buying one of the T-shirts on this page, all profit will be going to these men and women who have been the boots on the ground for our industry and trying to help them keep paying rent, putting food on the table and clothes on their backs.
