Manager of DeBarra’s Ray Blackwell says “This initiative, part-funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht Sport and Media from the Live Performance Support Scheme, has given all of our team involved a massive boost in the current times.
Thanks to this funding we have all gained a little back and have begun to remember who we are and what we do. But it’s a temporary reprieve. Our industry is in danger and we don’t know what the new year holds.
For now, our technical teams are back working, photographers are back snapping, musicians are back strumming, plucking and bowing. Art and music is happening and we all have a shared purpose again.’’
