A series of European-wide concerts and performances to "lift our spirits" and celebrate the exit from Covid restrictions has been suggested by Arts Minister Catherine Martin.

Ms Martin called on all European countries to come together to mark re-opening with live performances when it is safe and appropriate to do so to show support and solidarity for the sector.
