Speaking of DIY Alive, Rupert Vereker – CEO of DIY Music Ltd and Publisher of DIY Magazine, has said: “This is a landmark event in the history of DIY, heralding the beginning of a post COVID era of exciting developments from us; we will be offering emerging and DIY artists even more opportunities to develop their careers with the help of the DIY music community, its followers and supporters. We’re also thrilled to be collaborating with the Oval Space team, as without their immense hard work, this would not have been possible to pull off.”
