My parents are a similar age to the band so remember them bursting onto the scene in the 60s. It was my dad’s purchase of the Rolled Gold compilation that first got me into the band. I even got them along to a gig once - Paris 2007.

The most I can see them doIng is releasing another song or 2 from the album that’s supposedly been in the works for the last few years. 2021 is certainly an off year and with the slow recovery from the Pandemic and the band’s advancing years, insurance becomes a huge issue for future tours.

There’s certainly cause for cautious optimism on the vaccine front. We won’t truly know how effective they are until the entire population has been vaccinated. Normality ( a very modified normality with much more home working) will slowly return as restrictions are slowly lifted and the effect on positive test and death rates carefully monitored. My concern is that people will treat vaccination l
