The musiicians on the islands have suffered enough throughout the pandemic. Everything is back to normal and should be able to try to earn a living like everyone elsePhil Turner (La Oliva, 2021-08-27)

I believe it is possible for music to be safely returned thereby permitting musicians to earn, bars and venues to operate viably and tourism to thrive once again. Penalising musicians is neither helpful nor financially sound for the economy as a whole. Recent figures rose in the absence of music. Music is not the problem.Linda Howitt (Corralejo, 2021-08-27)

Musicians are not being allowed to work, also the locals are being deprived of entertainment.Keith Dawson (Corralejo, 2021-08-27)

One of the main reasons for chosing to holiday in Corralejo is the evening entertainment provided by Rock Island bar, Retro bar etc. without which we may as well holiday anywhere. Holiday income is being lost in Corralejo by the intransigence of the local government there.Alun Davies (Oxford, 2021-08-27)

Yo soy cantante y autonomo. Como todo el mundo tengo que pagar para vivir. Mi derecho de trabajar YA NO EXISTE ! Tengo una niña que necesita comer...Evelina Mancheva (Lajares, 2021-08-27)

I find it extremely disappointing and discriminatory that myself and other musicians are being forced out of our chosen profession. Bars that have existed in this community for decades are on the edge of survival as they rely on having live music to draw custom. Most of us are fully autonimo and have taxes and Bill's to pay,children to feed and clothe, schooling to pay for but our opportunities to earn money honestly are being strangled by the local authorities. This is madness and illegal,not to mention counterproductive for the island. If there is no entertainment NOBODY WILL COME.!!!!David Hedley (Coralejo, 2021-08-27)

I cannot see the reasoning behind restricting live music in bars and outdoors yet still allowing it in hotels. Surely the risk posed by people playing music is minimal, even if there is singing.Additionally, other parts of the island are allowing live music, presumably they have risk assessed this and find little or no evidence that it will spread the virus.
Obviously encouraging large crowds should be avoided and is understandable, however, the majority of venues in the district of La Oliva are quite small and other restrictions are in place to limit numbers due to the current level. Saying that the authorities seem to turn a blind eye to huge crowds building up in the streets and on the beaches when bars closed.
Perhaps introducing an early closure time contributes to this as everyone exits establishments at the same time and the people congregate together?
Finally, live music is an attraction for the majority tourists coming to the area, taking this away not only hurts the individual musicians, who have had little support through the pandemic, but will also have a negative affect on tourism now and into the future as people find other places to go that don't have these restrictions and become their new destination of choice.

Live music is essential to Corralejo. Most tourists visit the town to enjoy the entertainment it has to offer. Without live music people will stop coming to Corralejo and go elsewhere instead where they can get live entertainment!Niamh Kiely O'Neill (Corralejo, 2021-08-27)

Tourism and life in Corralejo is heavily effected by its well known and loved music scene. I understand we are in unprecedented times with Covid 19, but cannot see why musicians aren't allowed to play. I understand there should be a ban on dancing, but with musicians playing at a distance to people who are already occupying the bars and restaurants i really can't see what the issues are.Anthony Mays (Corralejo, 2021-08-27)

Myself and musician partner lived and worked on the island for 10 years until having no option to leave and return to original home towns due to no income or support for musicians. Many life long friends have closed or lost their business due to no live music permitted on their premises.Julia Smith (Leeds, 2021-08-27)

I’m signing because there is no scientific proof that live music is related to rising cases of Coronavirus on the island or anywhere in the world. Musicians and bars are unfairly being put out of business.David Evans (Corralejo, 2021-08-27)

The ban on music should be lifted and allow music back in LA OliviaBelow are two sets of figures for the covid cases today in fuerteventura
one set from Blas Acosta Cabrera showing the number of cases actually on the island ( 148) and the other set showing cases of people living on another island but still have their medical card registered here in fuerteventura (241)
The difference in these numbers is considerable and are adding to our IA7 and IA14 keeping us in level 3.
We now have less cases here than in Lanzarote but still the Mayor stops music this system is not fair and should be changed.

Live music feeds the soul. In Fuerteventura it's as necessary as the beaches amd scenery. It sets people's minds to normal.It also gives the performers a living. Please, for all our sakes, let them perform.

There is no good reason not to have live music, especially when other ayuntamientos are not prohibiting it.Jenny Freeney (El cotillo, 2021-08-27)
#167
Stopping Live Music is preventing a lot of residents of the Canary Islands to make a living & are actually having to move on as they can't afford their rents anymore. It is also deterring tourists from visiting the islands as that is a big part of the appeal of holidaying in the Canaries, particularly Corralejo, Fuerteventura. Please let Live entertainment start again asap & long may it continue. There are already enough restrictions in place to ensure everyone remains safeCaroline Ashworth (Manchester, 2021-08-27)

The ban is descriminatory against a particular group of workers and has been applied without scientific evidence to indicate that the general public is more at risk of infection from this specific group.Melanie Lloyd (Corralejo, 2021-08-27)

As well as being essential to attract tourism back to Fuerteventura it also essential for the musicians on the island to be able to afford to feed themselves by having a place to play that will ultimately benefit all parties. Lift the restrictions on musicians' live perfomance.Mark McKendrick (London, 2021-08-27)
