Hi from locked down Ireland - hope you are all keeping well and safe. Just a quick update about Barking Spider gigs at The Dockyard Club, mainly Bullfrog Blues Club gigs?. We have no idea when the Dockyard Club will re-open, as the U.K government have made no decision regarding when licensed premises or gatherings can take place. However, whatever decision is made, , my main concern is for everyone's safety. Many of us fall into 'at risk' bracket (including a lot of the artistes booked!) and we need to bear this in mind. If you have already booked and paid for a ticket for an event that is postponed (see list below) please contact me on spiderpromos@aol.com I will either ensure that your ticket purchase is good for ANY Barking Spider/Bullfrog gig (irrespective of ticket price) As many of you know, we run the gigs as a labour of love, and haven't increased ticket prices for many years. Apart from a small percentage which comes out to cover expenses, the artistes always get the lion's share of the ticket sales. With that in mind, I'd obviously prefer you went for a future credit, but I do know times are hard for many of you, so if youâEUR?d like a refund for a Paypal payment, please e mail me on spiderpromos@aol.com with the transaction number from your e mail confirmation. However, if you've purchased a ticket via Street Level, please return your ticket and get your refund from there. Our plan is to offer all artistes who have gigs postponed the first available slot, or try and find a date which suits them . We may even try to ctch up by running more than one gig some months, dependent on the availability of The Dockyard Club. Thurs 4.6.20: THE ACHIEVERS (postponed) Fri 5.6.20: GRATEFUL DUDES (postponed) Sat 27.6.20: MUFFIN MEN (postponed) Sun 9.8.20: BRUCE BARTHOL, BARRY 'THE FISH' MELTON, & STEPHANE MISSRI, TEED UP & DAVE ALLEN & FRIENDS (postponed) The following gigs have not yet been postponed - but may be, depending on what happens with the pandemic - I'll keep you updatedâEUR?.
