@Not in Crawley - this all based on promoters being given some info from government?

Nick Cave scrapped his last year then got refund

Faith No More meant to be June at Apollo, that ain't happening

not heard owt though, or Goldfrapp at Albert Hall

I suspect they just hold on as long as they can before deciding to reschedule or refund

I think that is what he meant- and beyond. As in this year, not season.

Might be wrong of course, but if so, he may well be right.

Certainly not sure, we'll all be in for the start of next season.

Its more to do with timings and spend. like I was saying about the octagon, for autumn tours you need to be working now, so you have an arranaged onsale date with say TM, have the onsale marketing campaign then - usallly about 30% of budget, see what inital figures are like, you go fallow for a few months and then start working properly six months out minimum. So people have gone onsale in the hope we'll be ok by autumn, its not looking so promoters will not commit to marketing spend now when you need it and so even if venues are open by autumn its too much of a risk to commit spend against sales that will not appear - otherwise you are on an endless cycle of promotion whilst moving dates.

I know all the big museums and galleries are doing nothing until May at the earliest, and they are the first of the sector to go back. Like Brexit, uncertainity isn't good for any business.

Oh and my other half who works with the big west end shows, they have all moved their dates to spring next year. Nothing is going back to normal until at least then.

2021 summer will be more restrictive than 2020 was.

Thats what the Govt are getting our heads ready for anyway.

We might get abroad in the last quarter, Oct onwards.

It will be at least 3 years before we see anything like proper football at Bolton

At least Mogg and co. Are using parliamentary time well in these dark, uncertain days:

 

The responses to that, ffs.

It would be interesting to see how many people would change their minds if something like this was brought in over here

An example there of why their approach to the whole thing has been so effective. 

Not sure if it will be adopted, but the slightest hint of such a thing here would see some backbenchers heads exploding.

No vaccine, no benefits, holidays, football matches, theatre etc

Doesn’t seem unreasonable

That's spot on.

The asian community is apparently not coming forward in very good numbers. I'm not sure what levels of government benefits they rely on and whether it would incentivize them anyway.

Depends. Some shows are happy to take the hit in revenue for socially distanced performances, some have decided its not worth it until we can get full houses again. Also the cost of keeping cast and crew covid free without many changes and cancellations is an issue.

When London was in tier 2 there were shows on but they were specially created and socialy distanced. So there will be certain shows on. All depends on making money as with anything else, and lie everyone else the sector is in the dark at the moment. West end shows can come back quicker as they take up residenacy in venues, so the stuff is there if they haven't struck the set and paid for storage.

What is the show?

Muslim lad on my FB keeps posting about there being pork in the vaccine hence his reason not to take it 🤦‍♂️

Had my fit test for my mask today. All I can say is thank fuck I don't work on a covid ward. Had it on for the whole of 10 mins and its bloody awful. Had me counting back from 100 with it on and you are gasping for breath.

Although I am coming round to the idea that people who come out with anti vaccine bollocks should be allowed to just not have it. Natural selection will see them gradually die off .
