A DOG'S BEST FRIEND IS ROCK N ROLL - ACCORDING TO REBECCA DOWNES MUSIC STUDY
Whilst the research showed people's pets reacted positively to different genres of music, the data also polled musicians and found that 76% struggled with mental health - but a huge 94% of those that had pets said they brought positive wellbeing and creative influence into their creative routines. And the most popular choice of pet for musicians was a dog.
The national research is the result of a project hatched between UK singer-songwriter Rebecca Downes , her record label. Rebecca is also a music coach and educator - and through lockdown she became acutely aware from her students of the wellbeing link between mental health and pets. Many of her students, who were focusing on creative arts and song-writing battled with mental health - but they often had a more positive outlook during lockdown if they had a close bond with a pet. As a result, Rebecca and her management team decided to test this idea more broadly through national research.
Rock venues and festivals in Scotland , Wales and Humberside may want to start thinking about making their venues pet-friendly – because that's where the nation's 'rock dogs' live.
