Amidst all the usual doom and gloom, here, at least, is some positive news: Backline has launched a 24-hour mental health and crisis support line created exclusively for musicians and anyone working in the music industry.
It’s called B-LINE and the idea behind it is to connect musicians with trained counsellors who know the unique pressures of working in the sector. It’s staffed around the clock, and though it is based in the US, international callers will be able to access it. The all-important number is 1-855-BLINE99 or you can text 254-639.
