As Covid laid bare the 2019 SXSW showcase festival, back in mid-March 2020, the Music Division of the Department of International Trade presented a special three-day event that saw a whole host of British acts – who had been scheduled to play at this year’s edition of SXSW, before the Covid-19 put a stop to that – performing live behind closed doors. Courtesy of MQA, the third day’s performances were then live-streamed and captured in HD sound and video.
With the huge disappointment for artists due to play one of DIY’s three stages, two of the acts from DIY’s show at the British Music Embassy were able to take part in the Covid secure stage created by Production Park. The British Music Embassy Sessions took place over three days supported by the BBC, AIM, PRS, PPL and BPI, and were held at Wimbledon’s Production Park studio complex
