The current situation has put a sudden end to ceilidhs and our harmony singing band but hopefully it will return - the bookings cancelled earlier in the year rebooked for the autumn and now rescheduled for after Easter next year. Pure joy to play with others at a real live outdoor gig 3 weeks ago.

However in the meantime - I have a choice of Zoom clubs most days of the week and it motivates me to find and learn new songs. Voice is improving through solo singing. Lockdown project was starting to learn the anglo concertina - really enjoying that. Excercise - I dusted off the treadmill that was used as a clothes hanger and donning a pair of 3D goggles have trekked daily around the world curtosy of YouTube VR mode and have enjoyed the tranquility of a musical gondola ride in venice to punching zombies in some virtual landscape.

Oh and now my other education work finally looks to be picking up again after only a handful of jobs since March

You are never too old for music. My dad was still playing his fiddle and guitar in his 90s....and for real inspiration there is the wonderful John White who sings at the Sharps lockdown sessions on Tuesdays without the words in front of him even and he is over 100!!!
Think positive and there is a way for you too.
