1/ Photographer @carriedavenport recently took a photo of EVERY person involved in putting together a drive in event run by @MayWeEvents
2/ "I've been doing a few photos for #WeMakeEventsNI as I think it’s really important freelancers in the entertainment industry rally together and try and promote our cause.
I miss the atmosphere of working live gigs, the energy, the excitement and most of all the people.

3/ I don't go to an office everyday or a set place of work. The folk I meet at events doing jobs similar to my own, behind the scenes building sets, lighting gigs, mixing sound or shooting photos like myself.

4/ I'm at least lucky enough to have some work still on as I can do a variety of things, but I'm still down overt 80% of earnings. Many of my friends have no work at all and are considering changing careers.
5/ This would be such a huge loss to the industry and that's why this is so important. We turn to music and the arts for more than just enjoyment. They have a huge impact on our lives. If we lose all the people who make these things happen then where do we turn?”
