Disabled people's access to live music events (Why Not People? project) |
Introduction
Introduction by Jameela Jamil, Radio 1 presenter and founder of Why Not People?
“When I was young and living with a disability I found that there was nowhere for me to go where I could just go out and party. Nowhere that I felt equal. Nowhere that was made for people who needed just an extra helping hand without being treated like an alien or a burden. I am horrified to say 10 years later there still really isn't a place in the entertainment world for disabled people. The time is well overdue to create a place in entertainment for people of every need. Unity can only be a good thing. It's well overdue, but at last it's happening. I am lucky enough to have a job that gives me access to the world's biggest artists, all of whom haven't hesitated to support the cause. Because why wouldn't you?”
“The Why Not People? ignores the notion of "limits" and “discrimination" and caters to all people from all walks of life. It is a chance for us all to party with the people we should have partied alongside all along. With accessible venues and the finest talent on the planet, we promise to put on gigs, events and club nights that you will never forget. “
