Since Quite Great was founded as an agency nearly 25 years ago, we have supported musicians, creatives and their families who are affected by mental health issues. Although there is a general feeling that there is more openness about mental health today, it is still a subject which many feel unable to talk about or where it seems there is no-one there to turn to.
In the current climate, with the Corona Virus sweeping across the globe and decimating businesses of all kinds, it is inevitably causing huge amounts of anxiety and uncertainty for not just performers but stage crew; producers; engineers; venue owners…the list seems endless. It is easy to feel defeated in such a situation but throughout our time working with artists, we have seen time and time again that from unimaginably dark times can come both hope and astounding art.
We are here to help you through these times, to plan for the future and to reach out to people around the world with your music at a time when people are craving escapism and are given the rare opportunity to listen to stories and lyrics often clouded by the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life. Over the last few days, we have been inundated with emails and calls from around the world, especially from individual musicians, who are seeing such positivity about their music and are desperate to share it with the wider world.
More than ever, this is a time to share experiences, to reach out to those who feel lost and alone and to prove truth as old as recorded history – Music Heals. We are here to help share your stories, to give you the support you need and to give the world the positivity it so desperately needs.
