A crowdfunding campaign has been set up by Orange Goblin vocalist Ben Ward through JustGiving to help aid Team Rock staff members who were laid off this week, not even a week before Christmas. Team Rock published music magazines including Metal Hammer, Classic Rock and Prog.
Here’s the story, pulled from the crowdfunding campaign:
“Today, 73 members of the Team Rock staff were told that the company is going into liquidation and that they are being made redundant with immediate effect with ZERO pay. These are good, hard-working, committed people that through Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, Prog Rock, TeamRock Radio and more, have supported the rock and heavy metal scene in this country for decades and now we, the rock community, need to pull together to help give something back.
Please spare what you can so that everyone may enjoy the festive spirit.”
At the time of writing this, the campaign has already surpassed it’s goal of £20,000.
