    It's not over until it's over, guys. 

    We're in an unprecedented situation right now and we're all speculating.  I genuinely believe there are good arguments on either side but, ultimately, we don't have any clear guidance from the government about Summer events yet.

    I'm preparing myself for the worst but simultaneously allowing myself to believe.  

    out of upvotes but definitely agree here

    Oh it would be a huge challenge. The reason I'm keeping that option open in my head is that we're in extremely unprecedented times, and we're going to see a lot of very bizarre and creative solutions (see discussions about football, for one!) I really wouldn't rule out anything at this point - all options are on the table I think.

    it does feel that a lot of stuff is being postponed until sept - think its going to be a busy month!

    I know this isn't exactly what this thread is for, but I need somewhere to have a little vent. I got married on Saturday (and had the most amazing day!) and now I'm sat stuck in several queues with insurance, airlines and hotels, trying to cancel our dream honeymoon. We were due to fly to Bali tomorrow but the FCO have now (rightly so) advised against all but essential travel to Indonesia. I guess the upside of that, is I *think* we are covered with our travel insurance, but I may never know since theres no one to answer the phones...

    The very faint light at the end of the tunnel for me is Glastonbury, so I'm pleading that this virus disappears and never rears its ugly head again, so we can all have a laugh and dance about this in the fields in June. Much love to everyone through this difficult times, and stay safe x 

    congrats on the wedding mate! sorry to hear of the travel issues, and keep positive that it will peak before june and we can still enjoy our week on the farm!

    Oh no! That's rubbish! 

    I have a feeling I'll be in the same boat soon. 

    yeah bit of a nightmare but I think brighton is usually packed with spectators so I guess it makes sense - may see if I can find one last minute that's not cancelled but it depends where we are in 5 weeks time, could be complete lockdown!

    marathon is cancelled but training continued as normal this weekend - rescheduled to September but don't fancy training through the summer so may defer until 2021. willing to take the hit and miss the marathon as a sacrifice to the coronagods to allow glasto to go ahead! :)

    there's never enough reggae. :( 

    I'm hoping Glasto get Third World before it's too late. Saw them back in the eighties at Sunsplash, but also a few years ago - and they were excellent ... they're also not really the same band, tho still have Stephen "Cat" Coore and Richard Daley both playing a full part.

    ah that would be amazing too - also some of the new wave guys like Protoje would be a great addition, not sure how likely though

    nowadays it's 'kids' who are Black Uhuru (probably not born in their heyday). There's a brief cameo from Duckie. At least, that's how it was when I saw them 5-ish years ago.

    Great tunes, but not really Black Uhuru.

    ah fair - still, considering the lack of reggae on the rest of the first poster ill take that for now and hopefully some nice bits pop up at some smaller venues

     

    edit: reminds me of seeing Musical Youth a few years ago at Boomtown, who are no longer youths surprisingly :)

    They're so good - can't wait to hear the finished versions of the others! Glad you liked...

    listened to the second episode on my run last night - thought the box jellyfish was a fucking octopus or giant squid when she first started describing it!

    "The Brazilian government’s communications secretary, Fabio Wajngarten, has tested positive for coronavirus.

    He was part of the entourage of President Jair Bolsonaro during his visit to the US, where he met President Donald Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence.

    Mr Wajngarten posted a picture of the meeting where he is seen standing next to Mr Trump in Miami on his Instagram page on Saturday.

    Brazilian media report Mr Bolsonaro is being monitored for symptoms.

    Meanwhile Mr Trump has said he is not concerned."
