bickster Posted March 20, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2020 Totally not my thing but this goes down a storm in Liverpool. They've obviously had to close their doors but last night started doing it online for people just to have fun at home.

sne Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 If you can find a stream the Swedish championship final in Bandy is played at 14.15 today. Bandy is a bit like your Hockey except it's played on ice, is way faster and you are allowed to use both sides of your stick/club to dribble and pass. One of the teams is named Villa so you even have a team to root for. The other team is Edsbyn fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) More and more virtual gigs popping up from impoverished musicians. Watched one last night on Facebook from one of my local favourites, Rachel Laven (a Texas lass currently living in Leeds). Bunged her a tenner on PayPal (there were thirty-odd people in the remote 'audience', so I hope they did the same). Support your local musicians if you get the chance.
