Bands keep saying thank you...

Plenty of bands around the world have been saying thank you to health workers, care staff and key workers — to why not enjoy them over a cup of tea this morning...

Music
  Thanks in music from the banding world...

There have been plenty more great social media offerings from bands to thank front line NHS staff, care workers and key workers for their efforts during the Coronavirus pandemic.

So check out what they have done — and congratulations to everyone on their brilliant efforts...

Draw

Let us know what you are doing to lift spirits and saying thanks to those who are doing such a wonderful job in keeping us all safe, well, fed and entertained...

We did our own 4BR draw to see who played first etc...

Enjoy....
