I'm a wee bit behind the times (only just saw this on
facebook), but:
Sussex
musicians, Coastal Currents want to pay you! They "know times are tough with performances being cancelled and the creative economy struggling. But Coastal Currents raised money from the Arts Council England to be able to give you a space online to stream your live gigs! We support you during COVID and plan to continue supporting you. SO - If you want an hour of live streaming for you, your band, an experiment, to launch a track... to build an online audience - our online stream, gets around 3k watches - get in touch at info@coastalcurrents.org.uk and we can arrange a time for your live stream AND PAY YOU FOR IT! We can also facilitate it to stream to your page too!"
I hope this information can help local musicians, and, by the way, live music is available on
Hastings Pier at weekends, as I mentioned in my
blog last week, and a small cover charge of £4 to see the music on the second half of the pier was brought in yesterday for
LIVE & UNLOCKED (
facebook); the front half of the Pier remained free to enter. Apparently there will NOT be a charge for Saturdays and Sundays (I have just read), but if you want to check on this weekend and future gigs, and see film of previous gigs, please go to the
Hastings Flyer facebook page. By the way, tomorrow's music includes Kingsize Slim + Rufus Stone, and Dr Savage, have fun!
OK,
Hastings Old Town Carnival Week (
website) this year has mostly been a 'virtual' event, but I thought I'd include a photograph from 2 years ago, the last year the lifeboat could take part in the
Carnival Parade (
blog), sadly no parade this year... 😥
I have missed opportunities to walk along the middle of the road as well 😉
