Rob Nosworthy, who runs Hereford's Nozstock festival, also hopes the government will step in - but worries that nothing has been announced so far.
"We could probably wait as late as middle of June before we had to make some really tough decisions." But he warned: "Our family farm is on the line. We use it as collateral, essentially."The government has provided a Covid-related insurance scheme for TV and film production, but last month culture minister Caroline Dinenage suggested the issue for festivals was one of scale.
"Now, I think actually that's short sighted, because a properly-constructed scheme will give the sector enough confidence that, in the second half of this year, we could see a decent degree of [festival] activity, which would lead to greater tax revenue." The risk to the government is relatively low, according to Tim Thornhill at Tysers Insurance Brokers, who helped to set up the Film & TV Production Restart Scheme last year and has advised the government on what a similar scheme for live events could look like.
Trade association Live has come up with an alternative plan - using some of the spare cash in the government's Culture Recovery Fund to create a contingency fund offering partial protection to organisers. In a statement, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: "We are aware of the wider concerns about securing indemnity for live events and are exploring what further support we may provide."
The 'male society' so far continues to give a dirty image biased to various occupations. For example, it is a CA or a taxi driver. Why are taxi drivers tending to be shunned by women when CA is a popular job for women? I'm saying that.
May as well cancel if there waiting for a decision from this government, they change their minds on a daily basis, most incompetent government in my lifetime...
