For many of us, these simple pleasures have been left behind in the days before Covid-19 \u2013 thought about and reminisced only on occasion. However, for those who work in the industry, the last two years have been an agonising wait.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t been able to work since March 2020, and the support has been virtually non-existent,\u201d says Matty Wainwright of The DJ Dispensary, and founder of recent online movement #SaveMusicSG. The initiative is an outcry to bring attention and support to the struggles of those in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Before the pandemic, Matty was a music director at several key venues in Singapore and had frequent local and international gigs in the pipeline. But the past two years have seen him and others struggle to survive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe toughest part is trying to earn revenue through tickets for live events, something we\u2019re almost completely unable to do,\u201d says Jon Chua, founder and creative director of Zendyll Studios. \u201cStudio bookings have dropped due to the closure of the borders, and we\u2019re unable to open bookings for international artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the last two years, heavily impacted industries like F&amp;B, retail, and sports have managed to receive aid from the government and the general public to keep afloat. Even live in-person sporting events have made a comeback, if only at a fraction of what they once were. The recent AFF Suzuki Cup 2020 was held in our city just last December, with more than 7,500 spectators. And the upcoming FIA Formula One World Championship will be held in Singapore later this year.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the loosening of restrictions on several sectors, DJs and musicians who count on live performances for their rice bowl have barely seen any adjustments to the ongoing regulations. Live performances, live music and singing in F&amp;B premises are still off-limits, which severely lessens their options for work.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_248016\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-248016\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-248016 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-vishnu-nair-via-pexels-900x643.png\" alt=\"live music singapore | vishnu nair via pexels\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-vishnu-nair-via-pexels-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-vishnu-nair-via-pexels-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-vishnu-nair-via-pexels.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-248016\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Vishnu Nair via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The demand for live entertainment remains<\/h3>\n<p>Over the past two years, event organisers in the local music industry have observed demand for the return of live music and performances with local audiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to support musicians and production crew during the circuit breaker period in 2020,\u201d says Danny Loong, CEO of Timbre Group. \u201cSo we started the #KeepMusicAliveSG campaign, an online stream series where we saw more than 600,000 views across YouTube and Facebook Live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Timbre also hosted Goodbye Garden, a four-month event held in April 2021. It live-streamed several musicians and bands at The Substation Garden before the venue\u2019s closure. \u201c40 of the 66 shows were sold out,\u201d Danny shares.<\/p>\n<p>Despite facing cancelled live shows and an unprecedented closure during the circuit breaker, Esplanade has continued to host live and virtual performances in the last two years. This includes the recent 20th edition of Baybeats and this year\u2019s PopLore \u2013 A Year of Singapore Popular Music. Ticketed and free programmes have all seen good attendance, according to the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur audiences and artists have consistently been hopeful and appreciative of our efforts to bring live performances back,\u201d says Amy Ho, Head of Music at Esplanade.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, these numbers demonstrate a hunger for the return of live music and a hope that Singaporeans can come together as a community to support the local arts and culture scene.<\/p>\n<h3>So, why hasn\u2019t live music been allowed to officially return?<\/h3>\n<p>For many DJs and musicians based in Singapore, life pre-Covid-19 is worlds away from the dismal present. While there hasn\u2019t been a dip in terms of content produced by local artistes, the current regulations have almost completely phased out opportunities for those who work in the live music scene.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_248017\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-248017\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-248017 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-nikola-duza-via-unsplash-900x643.png\" alt=\"live music singapore | nikola duza via unsplash\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-nikola-duza-via-unsplash-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-nikola-duza-via-unsplash-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-nikola-duza-via-unsplash.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-248017\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Nikola Duza via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Places of worship, gyms and restaurants have resumed operations under safe distancing measures and health guidelines, but the live music and nightlife industry has remained in limbo. Potentially, this can be traced to the underlying notion that all live music events result in loud and large crowds that can evolve into a super-spreading incident.<\/p>\n<p>However, those in the industry backing #SaveMusicSG hope for a change in perception. \u201cThe movement aims to highlight that the role of a DJ is nuanced and diverse, and it can be more relaxing than riotous,\u201d says Matty.<\/p>\n<p>Local Mandopop singer-songwriter Marcus Lee Jun Wei adds, \u201cDJs and musicians in this line are quite puzzled at the current regulations. I hope they can be relooked so they may have a proper roadmap to recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Authorities can safely bring back live entertainment just by tapping on the nuanced and diverse skill sets of DJs and musicians, and working alongside them to produce safer shows. \u201cWe desperately want to add to the rich tapestry of culture in this amazing country once more, not take away from it or act dangerously,\u201d Matty says.<\/p>\n<p>He also shares plausible solutions such as allowing laidback sets in the day at outdoor venues with vaccinated and socially-distanced audiences. These shows can be gradually reintroduced to bars and nightclubs after some time, once health and safety measures have shown to be effective.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_248018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-248018\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-248018 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-mohammad-metri-via-unsplash-900x643.png\" alt=\"live music singapore | mohammad metri via unsplash\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-mohammad-metri-via-unsplash-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-mohammad-metri-via-unsplash-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/live-music-singapore-mohammad-metri-via-unsplash.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-248018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Mohammad Metri via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Why you need to care about #SaveMusicSG<\/h3>\n<p>To those who work in the industry, the importance of saving our music and nightlife scene all comes down to the fabric of our culture. \u201cLive music and performances create shared experiences amongst us,\u201d says Jon. \u201cOur Singapore culture is embedded in food, music and entertainment \u2013 that\u2019s what connects us as a society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic is just like the air we breathe.
