Cracking Joey B track, brilliant bass playing by Michael Rhodes.

Well said, that’s exactly how I feel regarding chasing landlords for gigs, not the time.

This beautiful song by Gloria Estefan, stunning vocal makes the hairs on my neck stand up.

Didn’t need one this year, every gig we had was crossed out ☹️

The wife and I had our flu jabs (first for us) on Wednesday, I think we were in and out within fifteen minutes, no side effects at all.👍

Hertfordshire into Tier 3.

If you play in the Bowie tribute circles, you must have come across my old friend and former band mate Paul Henderson.

Steely Dan for me, incredible musicianship and tighter than a gnats chuff whichever line up they are using.

Unfortunately this will be the case with pubs/venues in lots of towns and cities in the U.K. ☹️☹️☹️

Fingers crossed, on a beach in St Lucia, it all went tits up this May, so we booked again for May 2021.

Fingers crossed for your gig. ”gig is definitely going ahead” is no guarantee in these current pandemic times.

I have only heard of five of them, I suppose a lot of it depends on what genres of music you are in to.

Very possible London will be moving up to Tier 3, infections are are rising rapidly.

The next spike could well be before January looking at the picture coverage of the recent market in the centre.

Silly me, yeh I forgot it’s self governing.

Isle of Man is in tier 1, it never gets mentioned in current reports on the national news, they just mention Cornwall, Scilly Isles and the Isle of Wight.

Touring next year, good band.

The only way is Harrow 😀

Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 😀

We are lucky that our singer has his own very large studio based at his home, up until this recent lockdown we were rehearsing weekly. We are now going to be rated as tier 2, so rehearsals are still not allowed. We are a four piece band, so the two very clear rules below make rehearsing together an absolute no no. Only two support bubbles can meet indoors socially. The rule of 6 only applies to outdoor meetings.

Hyde Park gig in 1976 for me.

Currently on Sky Arts, Queen concert filmed in 1974, when they were a real rock band. Really good footage and sound for the time, fantastic tracks from their early albums.

Just found this on YouTube, love it 😊

From four years ago, Ian Astbury of The Cult doing a fabulous job of vocals for the reformed Doors. Astbury also looks uncannily like the late Jim Morrison.
