Celebrate backstage crews supporting live music events

During Brits Week For War Child, a music event delivered by DHL, many celebrated the behind-the-scenes teams that make live performances possible. The series included shows by bands like Nova Twins and Clean Bandit, which took place in unique venues across London to support children affected by conflict. The crews, which include sound engineers and lighting technicians, are crucial for any live show. Nova Twins' Amy Love emphasized that the band could not perform without their dedicated crew. Grace Chatto from Clean Bandit agreed, noting the many people involved in preparing for their concerts. As bands grow, so does the need for support from their crews. The Nova Twins began with just a few helpers, but as their performances expanded, they relied on their team even more. With time, they have built strong relationships with crew members, like their sound engineer Joe Simpson, who has played various roles over the years. Crew members are not only crucial for technical support but also for maintaining morale on the road. The life of touring can be challenging, and having passionate people around helps keep spirits high. Amy Love pointed out the importance of dedication and care in this demanding industry. Fans of the bands have also come to appreciate the roles of the crew, showing the bonds that form between artists and their support teams. The recent interviews aim to highlight the importance of these unsung heroes in live music.
