neepheid Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Even if we were allowed to gig tomorrow I wouldn't - I haven't played with either of my bands since March 2020. We'd need to be allowed to get together in sufficient numbers/households to get some ruddy practice in first - I'm not sure I even remember which way round I hold the bass never mind remembering how to play all the blooming songs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I am about to start rehearsing with my band. The drummer wants us all to take lateral flow tests beforehand. Is he being reasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Probably what my daughter has to do once or twice a week - she's a primary school teacher. She just told me the has to take a test every week or so. I haven't been employed (nor on benefits) since 2012, so well out of touch.

ambient Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I've done some solo live-stream gigs. I have my first post-Covid with a band gig in a couple of weeks. I'm playing with a jazz band at a private event. We need to arrive an hour early and undergo a Covid test first.
