He told the Leader that there was a genuine fear that over 750,000 jobs will be lost from the entertainment industry by October, which could rise to one million by January.

He said: “The 750k is just in the UK alone from DJs, singers, entertainers, bands, performers through to bar staff, club and venue owners and more. It has a huge knock on effect with all roles within the night time industry.

“We are fighting so hard and the Government are not listening and they give generic emails back to us passing us from pillar to post .

“With the Welsh government holding pilots in the autumn, which we can see being pushed back like the central government did as their pilot failed, the whole of the UK DJ Industry hasn’t got a clear guide. More refunds are being issued to bride and grooms as there is no confidence in the future of events and realistically all DJs have wiped their calendars until next year and we anticipate a March / April return.

“Our industry hasn’t been given any guidance at all and never mentioned in any form of government release or document. It refers to ‘Performing Arts’ which we don’t fall in to that category.

“We have asked and asked for guidance but lays in flat ears. We have provided DJs with risk assessment guides, method statements and objectives to help them plus we have a Covid compliance assessment on our site to help them understand safe practices and guide them back in to work safely when we return.

“We don’t charge for this, all of our tools and resources are free and paid out by the pocket of Jamie and I as co-founders.”

The Association of UK DJs group assists DJs free of charge to ensure they can keep their business moving forward.

They have also launched a #LetUsDance campaign calling on UK Government to step in and provide more support.

In a letter to MP Mark Tami, it read: “Our sector has a number of facets which distinguish it from general ‘hospitality’ and, as such, it needs specific types and levels of support which differ from what may be required by other parts of the hospitality industry.

“We are suffering particularly badly from the effects of lockdown. It is not an exaggeration to say that the future of the business that I am associated with, and our entire sector as we know it, is at stake.

“This is a crisis and time is of the essence. The vast majority of businesses operating in the night time economy are at the small end of SME, with all the cash flow pressures that brings even in normal times.

“We suffered from plummeting sales even before lockdown was officially announced, we are going to be amongst the last sector to be authorised to re-open and the often small and intimate nature of the majority of our venues means that any form of social distancing is extremely difficult to accommodate and remain viable.”

A Welsh Government spokesperson said: “We appreciate the challenging times many people in the creative and cultural industries are facing. That is why our Cultural Recovery Fund is open to freelance workers across the sector, including DJs.“
