Live Music Returns To Scotland

The Scotsman has reported that Live music will return in Scotland as 100 capacity gigs get
green light in low infection areas

Live concerts with a capacity of up to 100 have been given the green light to resume again in the areas with the lowest coronavirus infection rates in Inverness and Stornoway are expected to host some of the first indoor gigs this month - ending a long hiatus triggered when the country's live events sector was put into total shutdown in March.

Venues in Level One areas are now allowed to stage shows as long as crowds are seated, strict social distancing is enforced, and track and trace measures in place#

Some venues will be able to stage shows with a capacity of up to 250 if they are able to accommodate two metre social distancing if the area they are in moves up to Level One.

Among the first gigs to go ahead will be a show by folk-rock group Torridon this Saturday at the Ironworks, an Inverness venue which has two other shows lined up over the next few weeks.

Lewis singer-songwriter Colin MacLeod is due to play two show at the An Lanntair arts centre in Stornoway next week.

New guidance published by the Scottish Government states: “Performing arts venues are permitted to open where audience members have allocated seats (either physical seats or marked areas of the ground within which households must sit) and with restricted numbers, two metre physical distancing and hygiene measures in place.
