Just had 3 gigs from July bumped to September 5th, almost more depressing than having them cancelled!

 That's interesting, as in theory there are no restrictions by July are there? I guess they're being cautious?

I'm being told this week that the venue has confirmed our 29 May gig is on - I can't really understand how they'll make the money work, and am guessing they might just be a bit clueless.

Got our first booking after lockdown! An outdoor gig in December...

Yeah we've been contacted today by one of our regular venues for a date in July! Can't wait to get playing again. Just need to work out when practices are allowed now. We're in Scotland.

Well, played my first gig in 14 months on Saturday night. It was a 'live-streaming' gig, so no audience apart from the soundman and the camera operator. A very weird experience!

It was also my first ever gig with this new band. I joined last summer, did a few rehearsals and was ready to start gigging then the bass player got cellulitis in his forearm so that knackered things for a couple of months. Then started rehearsing again ready to gig, then lockdowns happened and everything got put on ice for 4 months.

We were horribly under-rehearsed and the first couple of tracks were a bit of a mess, but we got better as the night went on and by the end we were all having a whale of a time!

If you're feeling generous you can donate to the venue and still get the link to the archived live-stream here - Ruby & The Mystery Cats – The Globe (theglobenewcastle.bar) 

If they put any clips up publicly on Youtube I'll throw the link up on here.
