What Next?
The confession:
I’d rather be playing at a live, in person, Homesong gig than hosting one. Even though I’ve enjoyed all the one’s I have hosted at our house. But at the moment, and with the ongoing uncertainty stemming from Covid, I’m finding it hard to muster up the energy to get going with hosting again.
The conundrum:
I have hosted far more Homesong gigs than I have played at, and I don’t know how to turn that around. Should I stop focussing my time and effort on hosting gigs in my house, and try to find people to host me? Should I renew efforts to find more hosts here in Kintyre? Should I be trying to connect more with existing homes anywhere, who already do this sort of thing?
The vision:
Is still for a large connected network of Homesong gigs in homes who are prepared to host a variety of artists and promote music and community. I know (I am sure!) that people exist who are far more suited to becoming Homesong hosts than I am.
But times are weird, and progress is slow.
And the truth is that I don’t know exactly how to move forward at the moment.
