Touring support company that built Dave's BRITs double-ended piano has closed
Touring support company Matt Snowball Music, responsible for building Dave's double-ended piano at the 2020 BRITs, has closed its doors for good due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Saturday (22 August), it was revealed that Matt Snowball Music, one of the UK's biggest touring support companies, had closed its Brewery Road HQ in London and entire business due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
General manager Richard Kiernan and Matt Snowball made the announcement via Facebook, writing, "With live music production coming to a virtual standstill worldwide, the company has made the difficult decision to leave its Brewery Road premises and to close for business. We would like to thank all our customers for their support and all our staff past and present for their hard work over the past three decades. It has been a great journey, we have all made some wonderful friends and memories. We will dearly miss the catch-ups with all the extended touring family."
The Matt Snowball Music team built and coated the double-ended piano that Dave played during his 2020 BRITs performance of "Black".
