Well what a few weeks it’s been. Actually, let’s be real, what a year. Especially for our industry. We have taken many a blow with Covid, and it has, quite frankly,wiped out so many livlihoods. We are trying to adapt, trying new angles, taking new directions, to keep going. Over the years, we have sung at your weddings,helping to create those precious memories. We have performed at the Christmas Carols you take your family to, called bingo sessions for your nan,and listened with a ready ear,while she talks fondly about her late husband. Called the meat raffles at your local pub every week, and shared a laugh with the crowd, who we have come to know, many becoming friends and look forward to seeing. We are there, getting you on the dance floor with your mates, taking requests, giving your mate a shoutout on their birthday over the mic. These moments are part of so many peoples lives, that I can’t even fathom them being not recognised as important. This industry, that provides so much happiness, quality of life, has been so left behind during this pandemic. So,if at any point, you see someone from our Industry trying to offer a service (in a covid safe way), please support them, in any way you can. We can’t wait to see our bingo patrons again, we miss you. We can’t wait to sing your favourite songs again, and see those dance moves that make us smile. We cant wait to sell you those winning raffle tickets again. To witness your amazing (and not so amazing Iol) trivia skills. We can’t wait to play at your wedding again, and see you guys dance your first dance. We can’t wait to share life with you again. We miss you all.
