8) South Coast Australia's Staylist news about Live gigs of new and emerging artists:

":For new and establishing bands and artists, live gigs are an essential way to build a following - how do you share your music if people can't go out to hear it?

Shoalhaven-based singer-songwriter Joe Visser, 16, the force behind a brand-new online music festival called South Coast StayList said:

"South Coast StayList evolved out of a public Spotify playlist I created called Keep Supporting Local," says Joe. "The playlist is made up of local bands and artists and the idea was to make sure their music was still being promoted during the pandemic, and that the arts industry was not forgotten."

I updated this about 10 times after posting it today. This site is merely intended to be a public service message about music that people can attend. Generally speaking I only include the sort of music a family could attend with children.

I have other blogs which viewers may be interested in that I post art, oil paintings I painted, sketches I drew and or painted too, and some of those are:

I purposely do not link sites to my blogs or accounts because I have been hacked at least 10 times since 2008, ad documented by notices sent to me.

Posted today 2 June 2021 at 9:26am by me Gloria Poole,Registered Nurse, artist in all mediums, writer/blogger/etc etc etc, from my own apartment in Springfield Missouri with my own equipment and my own internet coming into my apartment. Necessary to write that because about hour ago when I tried to sign up for news sent to me from a TV station I know who knows me, a criminal hacker tried to intercept it and tried to lock down my computer, in his or her effort to steal my name and identity. I have to document those events for law enforcement including FBI, who enforces copyrights.
