Live Insurance: Putting Something Back into the Music Industry

If you’ve been at a Bristol Beacon show – singing along with Self Esteem, losing yourself at Simple Things, or watching The Flaming Lips cover the stage in confetti – you’ve felt the magic of live music.

Behind every show is a team of people making it happen – riggers, lighting crews, sound engineers, stage managers. They all work tirelessly to make the magic happen.

We couldn’t do what we do at Bristol Beacon without some fantastic partners, and we’re delighted to welcome Precision Broking, the team behind Live Insurance & Crew Cover as a Corporate Partner for this year.

What is Live Insurance & Crew Cover?

Live Insurance & Crew Cover provides specialist insurance to the live events industry – supporting everything from staging and lighting to pyrotechnics, touring productions and major festival operations. Their work helps keep crews, equipment and creative teams protected so that live experiences across the UK can run smoothly.

What makes this partnership especially meaningful is that Precision Broking don’t just insure the industry – they are investing in its future. As well as keeping the show on the road, their support will help strengthen Bristol Beacon’s programmes that develop the next generation of artists, producers and technicians by supporting Talent and Skills Development initiatives like our Resident Artist, Festival Lab and Bristol Youth Studios programmes.

Creating opportunities and opening up pathways into the music and live events industry is a core part of what we do. Partnerships like this make that possible.

A huge thank you to the team behind Live Insurance & Crew Cover for their support of Bristol’s creative ecosystem, and helping us keep the stage lights shining bright for the future.
