Jools Holland says the Government must support musicians, who cannot work even if they want to. The musician and TV presenter, 62, has returned with his famous Later… With Jools Holland series, filmed from his South London recording studio because of the pandemic.
He told the PA news agency: “A lot of the musicians who work with me, lots of musicians everywhere, they’re self-employed… “What really is important is that the Government support musicians because musicians won’t be able to work. “It’s no good saying: ‘You’ve got to go back to work now,’ because they can’t.
There isn’t any.'” And he added: “It’s harder now because … downloads of music means these people aren’t getting the money from records any more.
