It's not looking too good in Wales, it really doesn't look like they have any intention of making indoor live music legal at all this year.
We have one outdoor gig booked in August, but the organisation sounds like a bloody shambles so we'll probably have to pull out of that too.
I haven't played live (except streaming gigs) since Feb 2020, the longest gap between gigs since I was in my teens. My first gigs a corporate thing in August, then got a couple of weddings and then 12 theatres gigs all over the country across Sep and Oct
Anything could happen though, I wouldn't be surprised if it all got cancelled.
Playing wise I feel batter than ever. I've been practicing like a loon, learning new tricks and applying more advanced theory to my cliched solos.
Equipment wise though I'm expecting some problems. The exhaust on the band van split in half in protest of not being used, MOT has run out and all the PA and backline haven't been used since Feb 2020.
Don't know if it's a covid thing, getting old or the fact I haven't used IEM's for a long time but my ears are all blocked so need to get that sorted as well.
Jam night also back up and running in same venue.
The biggest challenge I`m finding, in addition to remembering the music & words, is actually staying awake until the end of the gig............... & we haven`t been out with our own PA yet. Can`t say I`m looking forward to remembering putting that away at gone midnight!
Sorry, assumed this was a King of Tone waiting list thread...
