@Socio, you need to know who’s able to take a slagging :wink:

@tRONd I did actually use that image for a concert I organised raising funds for a mental health charity in Uganda :roll_eyes:

That’s me bottom left. I think I can still remember Good King Wenceslas after 50+ years learnt by slide position. Publish and be damned.

Oohh goosebumps :wink:

RE: Times and time zones.

Parts of the world (US / Canada etc.) have already put clocks forward one hour.
I know the UK follows suit on 27th March when it will be UTC +1 in the UK.

I am unsure of other places but believe some will spring forward too.

Hi Brian,

Minor typo on the poster for Greyal vs @grayal

Thanks!

I cannot believe I fell into that elephant trap :roll_eyes:
Most of the performers are UK based so we’re working on 7pm (19.00) UK time (BST, Richard’s tea time). I’ve amended the poster.
If you’re confused, watch this

Life was so much simpler when we ruled the waves Brian. World time was British time!

Sorry for not being able to participate. The chosen day is my anniversary with my girlfriend and probably I won’t be at home. But I’ll se the recording later :slight_smile:

Hope you all have a good time, specially @Richard_close2u :grimacing:

Here we go again, doing the clock moving dance.

And leave it to the UK-based to change the accepted protocol ie publish the start time as UTC, making it simple (as simple as it can be) for others to just add or subtract based on their local time expressed as UTC plus or minus, no knowledge of local clock-moving required by non-locals

So to make sure I understand and show up on time, not an hour late. This event will now start at 18h00 UTC?

Haha, indeed. My recollection is that the only people who ever had a problem with figuring out the time were the UK-based ones. We’re going for the low-hanging fruit :rofl:
I’ll contact the handful of non-UK based performers after the clocks go forward as a reminder.

Don’t you just DST !!

OK this may help. Times are adjusted automatically by Timeanddate.com so these will be accurate and as David said this reflects an 1800 UTC start time which is 1900 UK.
I have just selected major cities based on previous experience of OM attendees.

Hope this helps - anyone one not sure drop me a PM

There is a limit on the number of cities that can be added but these should allow you to adjust to more local time zones, esp USA & Canada.

PS if it all goes to plan UK peeps will be in the Green Room around 1600 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

My money’s on France to beat England and win the Grand Slam. It’s 12 years since Scotland beat Ireland in Dublin and on that occasion France beat England to win the Slam. So when we whip Ireland at the weekend history will repeat itself!
