How about the new picture... snazy hey? We also added a profile and cover photo. Things are getting together.
In Afrikaans there is a saying: "Van uitstel, kom afstel". It translates to "From postponing, comes canceling". So let's get involved!!!
Starting off,we don't have a sponsor to the competition or pretty much anything, but... if you work with us we can turn this into something worthy of a HIVE competition. This week we are also including some bonus prizes!!!
Let's not waste anymore time. This week will be open to anything, you can play a cover or original, it can be a group or solo/instrumental or only voice as well, as long as you entertain.
Please note: some weeks will have theme's or rules to get people out of their comfort zone's.

Loved the cheeky tambourine on the foot I guess? Good stuff man.
If you also play that fiddle behind you, I would be great to see that in next week!
Thanks man, yeah a little foot percussion doesn't go astray.
Sure, I'll play some improv on the violin next week for you.
Let me know if you need some help with hosting the event as well. Wishing you well, Monty
Thanks man, for the time being things are actually still quite quiet as you notice, so we are still okay as there are 4 of us. Will keep it in mind for future man! Looking forward to the violin, also check out our new project 1 minute co-labs if you were keen to contribute.
Ok, where is this project? I also have a collab project in process called Zen in a Nightclub.
Great, I saw you found it. Had a look at the project gonna see to get involved!
Awesome twice!
Here is my entry. An opportunity to play my Tele.
Great stuff, thanks for your entry.
