FinnDave Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 How likely is it that gigs booked for this weekend will go ahead in the light of recent events? We are booked to play at a beer festival at a rugby club in a town whose name starts with 'Royal', so am expecting it to be postponed as mark of respect, but have yet to receive confirmation of this. Anyone else playing this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Am not playing but went to see The Drifters last night. They started off with an announcement that the venue had received approval for the event to go ahead. Given it started at 7:30, an hour after the announcement of the passing of The Queen I`m not certain if it would have been the right thing to cancel, but do wonder how many will be cancelling/rescheduling. for both this and next weekend.

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I think it’s next weekend that may be more of an issue. I have one on Saturday 17/9 and have asked the band leader to contact the venue. No response as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 My gig tomorrow has been cancelled. Shame, as we were getting a good fee for it. The event is going ahead, but without the planned funfair and live music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Greene King have cancelled ALL entertainment tbis weekend, so that's tomorrow night's gig gone. On the other hand, tomorrow afternoon and Sunday afternoon are both still on, which I'm very happy about. I'm a lifelong Royalist and I'm terribly sorry that she's gone, but I don't see that it's disrespectful for life to carry on, and quite frankly I doubt she would give a toss that I'm gigging tomorrow afternoon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, given her sense of duty and to carry on regardless, I think she would have preferred events to go ahead as planned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
