Festivals, DJs and musicians are all using new tech to entertain fans and make money during Covid.

It was back in March 2020 that the UK's first Covid lockdown was announced.

"It was crazy to see the number of people in one chat room, watching their favourite DJs [during livestreams]. The community came together from all over the world and supported each other - it was beautiful." However, Dean adds a caveat: "It was an incredible livestream gig but it was not an incredible gig compared to Alexandra Palace. A lot of the discussion is whether it's a viable alternative, I don't think it is, I think it's a different thing."

"We almost needed a blank sheet of paper. We worked on a series of concerts from September 2020 to Christmas. We had some existing kit for streaming but supplemented that with new equipment." When no "in-person" concert-goers were allowed in the hall, Huw says there were some surprising results.
