We have been hit really badly on the ceilidh / barn dance front. No gigs since 16th March and all cancelled now to the end of the year. Not only is it the venues not being open for social gatherings, restrictions on music but social distancing rules make it impractical and probably many of our clients fall into the more vulnerable age groups too who won't want to attend anything involving contact outside their families.

Some live playing seems to be emerging outside but that is it. I have also been hit by school closures which has meant no external trainers aside from a few online jobs and writing / researching

At least I have been able to benefit a bit from the government's self employed grants which is something but that is coming to an end in August and the situation for getting work has not changed

Grim times but great the Zoom folk Clubs are there to keep us all connected and cheerful
