Socially distanced concert

[anef]

We went to a concert last week, at Stapleford Granary, which is a small local arts centre. Megson (a folk duo) were performing Christmas songs, and they did a good job of generating atmosphere despite the fact that the audience were all sitting at 2 metre intervals, were masked, and it wasn't warm enough to take many outer clothes off. The concert lasted for an hour, which is what the centre thought their ventilation systems could manage. As far as I can tell, it was the second live concert I've been to all year, the first being in March, and it will be the last until 2021.

I'm so glad you managed to get to a concert - I haven't been brave enough for that yet (quote apart from how few opportunities there've been).

We've never yet managed to hear Megson, though I've heard good things about them ...

Hearing live music sounds like a wonderful outing. I'm glad you went to the concert.

It was nice bumping into youseeing you from a distance. Also good was the chance to hear Megson go totally acoustic for once: it definitely worked in that setting.

The last live gig I went to was also Megson: either late last year or just into this year. We've watched all their online gigs this year, too. All this might explain how the good atmosphere came about: I'm sure there were other familiar faces behind the masks. There's a very loyal local following.
