“It’s a difficult time at the moment for the music biz, particularly at our level,” Mr Freeman said in a post to social media.
“I kind of feel like the top one percent of the music biz is doing well but the rest of us are struggling,” he said.
“It was much harder this year to secure sponsorship. Absolutely nobody’s fault. Lots of businesses are struggling and worrying about what’s coming up.”
