2 weeks to go folks now, still plenty of places both in audience and at performers lounge!
By the looks of answers given can we agree to start 7:30pm UTC? That way we could start looking at running order and perhaps prioritise those who don’t want to play either too late or too early in pecking order.
If yes I will update time on the first post with each person’s relevant time of the day.
1930 UTC is good for me but still undecided about playing. So its going to be a soul searching weekend to find something I want to play, opposed to something I just can play.
For easier navigation see link below to the top post of this thread for timetable - each given time is a start time of the event for a person, NOT a time when performer should perform - running order to follow next week
Much like Toby, I’ve had a little bit of a slump, this last week due to a bout of Covid recovery, so not as ready to play as I usually am at this point. I’m practicing a new song for the repertoire but shan’t be ready but may still have another not played song ready if I get more energy in the week.
That said, 19h30 UTC start makes it late for me to be playing and singing at home, even if I am fairly early on the roster. So I’ll see how I go but perhaps this is my time to be just in the audience.
Looking at the number of participants and songs, that may be a good call anyhow to keep the event to the usual timebox.
Hopefully you will be able to perform David but if not I understand, as I mentioned in another post to Toby no need to feel pressure to perform at each one, I myself missed one as well in the past.
Btw. David with a later start time are you okay to pick up MC role during the event so usual housekeeping duties and IT support on Zoom or would you like someone else to pick it up?
Let’s see how it goes. A lot depends on how quickly I get back to 100% healthy, this Covid recovery is proving to be a bit of a dragging on thing.
I’d be OK to be the MC on the night. Though as per previous, I’d be happy to support somebody else stepping up to give it a go. It is not a big deal to share the way it works up front and introduce performers.
So I’d say let’s invite people to play the role and I’ll be there in reserve if there are no takers.
I now have a family event that will likely run into the evening so won’t be able to take part sorry. I will definitely be interested for a future time and really didn’t want to pull out having built the confidence to go through with it… But would rather play relaxed next time than bouncing in and out and not being present in either event.
Sorry for that and Good luck to all the performers!
