I've had to bail on tonight's rehearsal, after consultation with the band, as I am self isolating. Saturday's gig was looking increasingly unlikely.

Saturday's gig is still on at the moment, but we're now a bit wary of advertising it, in view of the Government recommendations. If we do, it may seem like we don't give a stinky poo about people's health if we are encouraging people to come to the club? What are the rest of you doing for gigs that are still on?

Although the website has not been updated and tickets are still for sale.

There is no shame in asking for help! Obviously the Music unions, MU, and ISM, if you are a member. But also charities may be able to help. It's what they do. Don't let pride get in the way if you are suffering. https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do

Boat Race cancelled, Boat Race gig cancelled ☹️ Hope you have better luck.🤞🏼

All my gigs are currently going ahead as planned, but one is at The Boat Race. I'm wondering if a ban on public events is brought in, would it apply, as it's not actually in a venue?

I thought a pony was £20?

this would never had occurred to me. Genius!

i think that was Homer Simpson! 🤣

there are many basses that have a singular feature I like, but only my Shukers have them all on one bass. So for me it's a question of having one bass that does it all, rather than having several basses that each do a bit.

Every cloud and all that... 😄

Former BC'er OldGit (RIP) often had something to say about this. Which basically boiled down to - it's in the bands best interest to promote/publicize their gigs too, regardless of what else is happening.

In the course of your musical endeavours, what lies, bull5h1t and bollox, have you been told and/or experienced? I'll go first: Told a gig was going to be broadcast on MTV2 Joined a band who the BL claimed were getting an endorsement deal with Schecter Received an email claiming someone from V2 Records had seen the band and were sending A&R to the next gig.

Bugger.

you can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna bass.

The OP is free to start a GoFundMe campaign. People are free to donate or not. I suspect 'not', either way no biggie. However the OP did ask for opinions regarding this, and now he has got them...

What with identity theft and all, plus an aversion to posting personal details on the line, I will not be sharing the details of my occupational life . It is however considerably less interesting than anything posted so far
