Social Distance Gigging

[Patch Lafayette]

Personally, I think it looks a bit crap and sounds way too much fart on for an enjoyable experience but fair play to the promoters here on achieving a world first...

Sam Fender kicked off the Virgin Money Unity Arena's series of socially distanced concerts on Tuesday in Newcastle, England.

Canny bit of exposure for Sam Fender anarl (also a bit crap but ya kna...)


Anyone here gan, or is going to another one?

I thought it was just me. Tried listening to it but not for me, Indie Pop pap - geordie version of Travis. Fair play to the lad mind, world at his feet.

Did he remember to remind everyone that hes a geordie?

He's a bit of a tit like.

Proper mag parody.

Was turn on up my local last Friday. Lovely night, sat outside with a pint. Class.

Ahh, the Middle? Didn't even know it was still going tbh. Or that it had an outside come to think of it.

Was going to buy Jimmy Carr tickets there but the cost would even make Mackem00 shudder.

I'm not sure it is. And it has as it happens, though I've never been in the outside.

Was up the Chilton.

Just bought tickets for Doves next year, although I’m doubtful it’ll go ahead. I just can’t see how it’ll work in a small sweaty venue.
I’m missing gigs terribly. And especially any festivals this year.

I want to see Joanne Shaw Taylor again but she's booked to play The Riverside in Newcastle next year and it's not gonna happen, and I doubt I'd go even if it did.

Maybe this is the way forward for stadium size bands for the time being. The people who will just want to hear the music from their favourites will still pay the money even if it means watching in the rain. Those who prefer the whole crowd experience thing might not. Although Neal Peart would have to rise from his grave for me to enjoy any kind of show on a sleety February night.

Of course it looks awful, but the point is to keep people in jobs. Not the acts themselves who will be fine, but all the technicians, engineers, runners etc need something to keep them going.

absolutely this.

I see there's been loads of gigs rearranged for March next year. Surely they'll be on?
