    I just want to get back to seing live music again 
    Currently have a back log of gigs being rolled forward. One has just been rescheduled for April 2022. 
    I think I've got 7 or 8 gigs booked.  I think one moved from May 20 to January 21 and again to January 22.  A sensible move given other bands moved their gigs a few months on only to have to do that a number of times.
    I'm sure 2 gigs booked for May won't be happening.  Brixton Academy with 5000 people in June I think is very unlikely.  Likewise Coventry Arena with up to 40000 people the following weekend.

    I wouldn't be surprised if no gig I've got booked for this year actually takes place.

    I can see that anything that requires booking tickets or accommodation will be like hen's teeth once we come out of this.

    The pent up demand will be huge, especially if there are still some restrictions on numbers allowed.

    2022 "could" be a boom year!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 3.24% of current retirement "pot" (as at end December 2025)

    I want to fly over to the channel islands to see my parents, they did manage to visit during the short time in summer we had more freedom. I've had to re-arrange flights twice so currently booked for end of August. I'm keeping positive I can visit :)

    I give up caring a few weeks ago, I'm doing the same now - going too work as I did since the start.  The only difference im not going anywhere else, so used to saving the money instead.

    One of my many is the Eagles at Wembley Stadium. A band I've never managed to see previously. These days prefer smaller Gigs. Last time I went to the Brixton Academy was when Paul Rodgers fronted Queen.  My rescheduled gig is Carl Palmer of ELP fame. One of the world's best drummers/percussionists.

    I feel this. One of my favourite bands posted an old picture from one of their shows on social media today and I spotted myself in the front row, covered in sweat and beer with a giant smile on my face, surrounded by people in a similar state. Feels like a million years ago.

    It would be nice to have the dental crown put in that was due to happen on 30 March 2020.
