DYNAMO has shown his support for the live entertainment industry as the pandemic continues to bite.
Live indoor entertainment venues across the country have stayed shut since lockdown began, with no update on when they will be able to reopen for shows.
Now Bradford-born Dynamo has taken to social media, posting a series of tweets today highlighting the plight of those who work in entertainment.
He has wowed crowds at live venues across the world with his magic tours.
Here is a selection of Dynamo’s tweets:
THE LIVE INDUSTRY NEEDS SUPPORT NOW. My first ever show at Hammersmith Apollo took place 5 years ago to the day. It took an incredible crew of over 30 people months to help bring this hugely ambitious project to life and it went on to tour all over the world. (1/4)

But due to COVID many people in the live industry are now out of work with little or no financial support. The arts & culture sector has been one of the hardest hit and so today at 2:30 the government are finally debating the contribution of the arts & culture industries. (2/4) pic.twitter.com/81LcZE5Qrb

We need to raise our voices to ensure the government takes this sector seriously and provides the much needed support, so if you’ve ever enjoyed one of my live shows, or a music concert, theatre show, musical or stand up comedy...
