A spokesperson from Gig Buddies, which started in Bristol and operates across the UK, said access to “music space”, whether as audience members or performers, “is still not equal”.
“For the people we support, seeing disabled musicians represented more widely is so important,” they said.
“It reinforces the idea that music spaces are for everyone and that performing or being part of the Bristol music scene is achievable for all.
“We welcome initiatives like Unmute who aim to increase representation of disabled musicians and create clearer pathways into the industry.”
