Bluewine Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 As far as I know our live New Years Eve gig is still happening. Nice hours. we played The Barley Pop last NYE. Great crowd and great sounding small room. Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggering on Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) It won't be any time soon in Ontario. The whole province will go into shutdown as of December 26 with only essential stores(food mainly) and some services open, similar to the situation in March. This will last a minimum of 14 days in the northern part and 28 days in the more densely populated south. Restaurants can do take out or delivery only. Limited numbers in big box stores but only if they sell food(Walmart) and hardware and building supply stores. All personal services are closing and the school holiday has been extended well into January. Here we go again, very limited social interaction rules so no live shows and rehearsals only under special conditions, neither of the bands I am in have rehearsed since March and won't be any time soon. They have also ordered all ski hills and cross country ski centres to close, just as most are opening and were hoping to get some business over the holidays. I am lucky that I live in a very rural area and have ski trails on my own property and can use neighbour's trails too. The snowmobile trails (thousands of km crisscrossing the province) were just starting to open in some area and I assume that won't happen now. No idea when any live music venues will open, it looks like a bleak future, at least for a few months.

Pappabass Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 In July our joint was reopened. Got a couple of good gigs in then hurricane sally came by and damaged the place. No gigs since.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I suppose it’s now that it’s finalised rather than speculation that this comes into its own, there’s now a definitive to petition against. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal has effectively been made We were all describing exactly this scenario two years ago. The deal is a baseline and doesn't say anything specific on the issue, this is seeking an exemption from the standard rules. It's generally accepted that we will be negotiating on less 'headline' issues like this for years to come. Particularly worrying is that CITES rules will apply if you take your precious instruments to Europe. Wait for the fuss when a £1M violin with ivory tuners gets confiscated... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
