BALI MUSICIANS APPEAL FROM THE GOOD FOLK AT THE ORCHARD BALI As you will know, the live events sector has been hit with devastating impact. In fact, the events and hospitality sectors have been decimated on a global scale. In pretty much every country live music performances have come to a very abrupt halt. That means that not only artists and musicians have had their income reduced to zero, but all the people that were employed making gigs and concerts happen. Waiters and bartenders, chefs and kitchen hands, sound engineers, performers of every shape and genre, publicists and garbage collectors, security staff and cashiers, venues and delivery drivers, and the countless back-of-house staff that nobody sees, but without whom a gig, concert or any event doesn’t take place.
HATCH AND DINNER ON ME LAUNCH EPIC FOOD PROGRAM The aim for this program is to raise money which will allow us to employ hospitality staff who have lost their jobs to make a food production. All donation will cover ingredients with buying from local farmers and fishermen, small restaurant supply chain industry, and also help logistic industry with using their services. All food produced will be donated to front line medic and non-medic staff in a hospital appointed by the Government to handle Corona patients and families in need of support to help them survive in this situation. Bali dependencies to tourism industry is more than 80% with having thousands of restaurants and this is what makes tourism is the main contributor to Bali’s economy. Since the Corona epidemic hit this beautiful island, Bali is limiting tourist activities, restaurants have to closed.

BALI'S EMPTY STREETS AS NATURE RESETS In Bali right now its no surprise the streets are quiet, nature is taking a very overdue breathe of fresher air and the beaches are smiling as the pollution count is continuing to drop. When going out on a rare occasion to do some essential tasks like food shopping its like a different world in some places like the usual red light wait on your daily commute to your favourite restaurant or surf spot. What used to be a never-ending battle for pole position at each and every traffic light stop on your scooter or just waiting for someone to scrape your side in your car as another impatient N-max enthusiast tries to squeeze thru is now a lonely check of the lipstick or facial grooming in the rear vision mirror and onto the next destination. There is some amazing stories coming in from around the world
