paul_c2 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Given that community centres etc can re-open from July 4th, at least that gives a firm idea of when rehearsals can re-commence. Its just up to the rehearsal venues to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 official advice is that rehearsals are now OK. I'm involved with a rehearsal studio. We double checked with Trading Standards who were telling us to stay closed, and they confirmed on Friday that we're now OK to open 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubit Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 It would be very important to use your own mic. Check this out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Weddings now allowed for upto 30 people. No singing, raised voices or food and drink though. Small steps. But hopefully this will get the ball rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I’m not sure, even if they were allowed, and if I was in a gigging band, that I’d be interested in playing a gig on 04 Jul, or Barmaggedon as it’s becoming known. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 4 hours ago, cetera said: Bands should be required to bring their own mics for starters.... I always do anyway. The concept of cleaning mikes seems entirely alien to most rehearsal studios round here. Behringer XM8500, not exactly going to break the bank is it.
