Sister Bliss Hits Out At Nightlife Industry 'left in corner to rot'
News & Features
Sister Bliss of Faithless says club culture should be better protected.
All we can do is keep waving a flag and saying, 'We want support as well'
The UK government has ordered that venues remain shut in line with current scientific advice to limit the spread of coronavirus.
Sister Bliss has spoken to BBC Radio 6 Music and says club culture should be better protected.
"There's a lack of leadership at the top which means certain industries have been given support and then others have been completely ignored," she said.

"The electronic music scene and clubbing is definitely an incredible part of our cultural and economic force, and it travels all over the world globally. We really, I think, have been left to rot in a corner, so it's good to see that venues and artists are trying to galvanise it - with the Let the Music Play movement - trying to bring the plight of venues and freelancers, like myself, to the fore."
"All we can do is keep waving a flag and saying, 'We want support as well,'" she told 6 Music's Georgie Rogers.
We continue to engage with industry representative and listen to their concerns.
The UK government announced a rescue fund to the sum of £1.57bn named the 'Culture Recovery Fund' but there is scepticism as to how far the money will stretch to help the thousands of venues which include bars, nightclubs, museums and theatres.
A government spokesman said in response to Sister Bliss' comments: "We know this is an incredibly difficult time for nightclubs, but they will need to remain closed for now in line with current scientific advice to control the virus. We continue to engage with industry representative and listen to their concerns. Throughout the pandemic, nightclubs have access to the government's unprecedented package of support to help businesses, which includes business rates relief, tax deferrals, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and billions paid in loans and grants."
