Thanks, Helly!

The live streaming was part of The Railway Hotel (anag: Hot Willy Area)‘S great community support effort. Quite responsibly, they stopped trading before the government ban on pubs, but allowed bands in without audience to broadcast. Now that too has become impossible so Dez is mostly hosting this from his bedroom. He had almost 2 hours to fill yesterday, and raided my rather modest stash of Youtube videos, mostly of me playing Bach.

A few times the online audience stretched into double figures!

Maybe you can alert yacf of your next stream (possibly in Office Reception if you want more audience control) to increase your audience?
I'm sure I'm not the only person to appreciate your output!
