"its because of vocal projection i think.. "
Think it all hase a clause to it.
I don't see international just reopening world wide
Nore do I see the o2 holding a gig for 20,000, or 3000 going back in the theater that quick but there is a plan.
But it will move wate for the delays to start and people will be as disappointed as when there flight I'd delayed. But it will still happen.
OP what do you do in live music.
Just interested. |

None of it makes any sense - it's making me really angry now 
What about everyone huffing and puffing and sweating in gyms?
But they will be open.
And kids are the worst germ spreaders- yet they are going back to school while the rest if us remain in prison.
I've had enough. |

yes and many people feel this even in people who have followed rules, worked through it or stayed at home.
blitz people said they preferred the blitz
the gym thing is different as you don't get many guns with 500 to 20000 people in them sweating.. but with vaccination passport it should be possible |

Everyone I know has had enough.
I'm not a news watcher or a Covid ranter and I'm doing my bit and staying at home etc ..
It's been nearly a year now and these 'rules' don't make any sense.
A lot of us have lost so much because of it.

to be fair the whole announcement was full of clauses, every five weeks so we may not get to the April, May, June ones... what should be announced is a long term plan where it is agreed that is a point... spring 2022 when herd immunity must be tried.. or is that this August |
Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote

herd immunity is when 60% have been vaccinated.
by July most of the vulnerable classes will have had 2 vaccines, studies are showing high efficacy.
97% survival so to MOST (not all, see vulnerable above..aka vaccinated) will have no issues (yes, there is always anomalies)
the young who are least affected by the virus are the last on the list to the huge vast majority of them, covid is not life threatening or altering not opening up however will be.
Growing mental health crisis, eating disorders, education gap, rich poor gap, homeless, refugees, food banks etc etc etc...it has laid bare the horrors we allow in a rich country!
What I want to see is a huge drive for healthier balanced diets and exercise, alternative therapies like phisio (cant spell it tonight) and holistic like nature venture all very under valued in their benefits to the human mind & its own healing power.
If covid has shown us anything it is that being overweight, poor and over crowded living drastically changes your chances of survival. |

"nightclubs will be fine apparently ... its just live music.. according to my venue running friend "
Not sure what your friend has read but live music venues with socially distanced/crowd limits are allowed in the announcement currently scheduled for the 17th May! |

and they are not covered even by the suspension of restriction in June
other venues.. theatre size ones will try to open for July.. but its all just hope right now.. obviously this doesn't effect outdoor music |

"yes but the smaller venues won't be able to... "
I know people who run smaller venues who opened when they could in summer/autumn time and will do when they can again, it’s more feasible than not opening at all if there aren’t grants available that point!

"depends what tier they in i guess last summer "
I genuinely can’t find any clause in the road map guidance that suggests live music won’t be able to happen indoors by the way.
They specifically talk about large capacity events being included in pilots, but not smaller capacity venues. They seem to be included in the indoor entertainment category of stage 3. |
Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote

I can find no reference to this, but it could be something under consideration. My local jazz and blues club is a small 100 capacity venue. I'd usually sit at the front perhaps three to four feet from the musicians. A well aimed trombone or vocal projection could cause me to receive a dose of the virus. Pre-plague it was certainly easy to know which musicians were smokers and who had used breath freshener!
That could be mitigated by eliminating the whole front row of tables, which would reduce capacity but I'd be willing to pay a higher ticket price. |
Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote

Even if it's permitted, the prescribed reductions in capacity for indoor events mean it won't be financially viable for venues to open. Less tickets to sell, less punters through the door mean less bar sales, less merch sales and bands will be paid less = less likely to accept gigs.
The Event Research Programme will trial large scale events from April as part of stage 3 of the roadmap, to hopefully be included as part of stage 4. But we will see what comes of it.

"it's definately what she called in the small print "
It is possible that owners/managers of venues with public performance licenses have been sent documents that aren't available to the wider public.
I'll ask around, knowing people who work in that area. There's certainly nothing in the published material. |

Reading and Leeds currently don't have any insurance for the festival and are hoping for Government backed insurance. It could all go horribly wrong for them  |

I am a freelance/professional musician and there is a lot of discussion about this at the moment.
I really hope that we can perform - I know so many musicians who have not worked for over a year. Personally, although I am doing a lot of teaching at the moment, I love being on stage and have a lot of concerts coming up this year and really need them to go ahead. |

Ive been though the regulations again and I still can't find any reference to this. I have downloaded the full Govt document so not just relying on edited press coverage. But please if its covered somewhere different please provide a link. |

There's no such clause in the gvt documents.
I also asked a friend who runs a bar which offers live music and they are not aware of any such clause either.
It's still possible that OP has been tipped off by someone "in the know" but if the plan is to lift all social distancing rules late June, I can't see how that can be reconciled with limiting small concerts. |

My friend said, it’s got to be true
Your friend will be waiting for the government to outline the rules he has to follow. Your mate, with the bar, doesn’t know yet, and you can’t honestly think that’s a credible source over the government announcement |

Perhaps OP can enlighten us? |

I gig in my band multiple times a week and know many venue owners. I’m getting a lot of booking now, festivals are pushing sales and are back on...I’d make sure you have information before talking nonsense |

"Where do you think I'm talking nonsense?

No really. I'm saying that venues know of no specific clause preventing small music gigs restarting along with larger ones.
You say you're getting bookings.
Where are we disagreeing? |

Probably more about the crowd singing along I guess.
It is a huge shame if it is true, I so miss live music. |

What’s the source? Because the gov said ALL restrictions lifted. Surely they couldn’t use that wording otherwise ? |

All dates are subject to review, they aren’t set in stone definite dates, it all depends how things go.
In relation to venues, SD, travel and I forget the other, the review documents are here and the steps

All restrictions aren't being lifted that's why. Nowhere was that said. No limit on social contacts and all remaining places to open is the plan. Social distancing will remain in place. Pilot schemes for getting fans back into sports events will happen after June 21st hopefully but with small crowds to begin with, for example. This will mean reduced crowds to start with with masks and distancing and possibly requiring lateral flow tests |

What exactly does no limit on social contacts mean?
The terminology confuses me.
I thought it meant no social distancing or restrictions but people seem to interpret it otherwise.
Is there a definitive meaning? |

I see it as some social distancing still likely, masks and similar for some scenarios.
A review needs to take place and from the paper this will be based on “ The review will take into account the conclusions of other reviews that the government has committed to undertake including on the role of COVID status certification and the return of large events.”
So it’s all a waiting game and not a specific it’s going, as will all the points in the next couple of months. |

someone ought to tell boris we have microphones and that performers on stages could be 2m away from crowds  "
usually at an elevated position, but thers is a simple solution....mic shields...bit of perspex. simple.
As if the crowd ain't gonna be sweaty, and shouting gto each other anyway.
The netherlands have actually just had a 2 day covid neg test festival, clause is that all intendees had to wear a e/motion sensor (heard on radio news so not sure which) so were essentially guinea pigs.

Unfortunately, it continues to look as if either (a) they haven't got a fucking clue what to do and are making it up as they go along, or (b) they know exactly what they have in mind but just aren't telling us. And so it shall remain. The only thing we can be sure of is that when they fuck it up (again) we'll all get the blame for it (again) Because they, naturally, are impervious to all criticism. |

I think they know far more than they are telling us, and already know the roadmap out of all this is going to be delayed. |

I don't understand that, and I didn't know it was the case. All the playing fields near me have been very busy recently with players and supporters. |
