Pfiiizer Daaahlings

At long last there is a little light appearing at the end of the endless tunnel and we can start to get our ducks in a row and get excited about playing again!!

I know it still feels like an eternity away, but I'm sure it will be here before we know it, so we wanted to reach out and make sure everyone is in the loop.

All dates at this stage are estimates and depend on when LGA's hit vaccination targets. We're estimated to hit 70% fully vaccinated sometime in October; at which point 50 vaccinated people will be allowed indoors at weddings, which means......drum roll please.......gigs are coming back!!!

But there is one very big condition; we are going to have to be fully vaccinated and most likely need to able to show proof on arrival at venues.

I anticipate this could be a problem for a few people for a few different reasons.

I'm very aware a lot of the younger ones amongst us haven't necessarily had the opportunity to be fully vaccinated as yet and there may not be time for some to access a second jab by their first gig back.

There may be some who are not able to be vaccinated or may feel vaccination is not the right choice for them.

It was suggested in recent 'pressers' that having to show vaccination status will be a temporary step in the road map, so it may just be a matter of having to wait a little longer before everyone can hit the D-floor.

I need to ask for you assistance in helping our producers to ensure we are compliant for the gigs that lay ahead.

Whatever your vaccination status or situation, please know we're not here to judge or question; we're here to help, to respect your privacy and to ensure we're doing all we can to help keep events and live music happening.

If you have a gig coming up and are concerned you won't be vaccinated or vaccinated in time, could you please, please contact the producer and let them know as soon as possible.

If you're fully vaxxed and waxed and ready to get back to being a gig pig, feel free to let us know that, too! Hopefully we'll be able to keep track and not ask you over and over, but apologies in advance if we do ask a couple of times, we're just getting our processes solidified.

Now to try and get gig fit; getting vaxxed was the easy bit, I can barely make it around the block let alone sing and dance my way through 4 sets..... Lyrics......hmm.......suddenly gigs feel really close!

Can't can't wait to bump your beautiful elbows and have a play very soon!
