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.


Rules for submitting your entry

  • All entries to be submitted by uploading your video onto a video streaming platform.

  • The title must be followed by " | Covid-Sessions Week # "

For example: Purple Rain Cover | Covid-sessions Week 1

After uploading your video, put it into an article on any HIVE platform, unless yoyu uploaded it via a HIVE platform already.

Your video must start with the following:

"Hi I am "Username" and this is my entry for Covid-Sessions Week #"

(The words do not have to be exact, this is just to validate that the video was recorded for the competition and that it is your performance)

  • The song/piece of music must be longer than 1 minute 30 seconds.
  • After finishing your post, comment a link to the post/video on this article.

Please note, you do not HAVE to upvote this post or resteem it. This will not count when deciding on the winner. We will however appreciate any love that is shown to help us build forward.


If you have read through all the requirements then the only thing left to do is record your video!!! Please note your video can be recorded using our phone the quality of the video/audio doesn't matter but it is appreciated.

Please note entries open as soon as the post goes live and for this week entries close on Sunday the 19th of April at 5am (UTC+2) A winner will then be chosen and the new week's post will be published.


Choosing the winners and giving the prices

How will the winners be chosen? The 5 posts with the most votes will be taken into consideration and then the top 3 of that 5 will be selected by myself and a group of fellow musicians.

Prize's????

First Prize - 3 @steembasicincome shares

Second Prize - 2 @steembasicincome shares
Third Prize - 1 @steembasicincome share

We know it's not massive, but hopefully as we get everything waxed we will be able to improve the rewards as well.

VERY IMPORTANT: For this week only we will be multiplying the prize money by every entry. For example if we get 3 entries, first prize will be 9 HBI, 2nd 6 HBI, 3rd 3 HBI.

Also for every ENTRY that reblogs this post we will be giving 1 HBI on the house!!!!

Well .... that's it for this week, lets see if there is any music in the air?

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!

Here is my entry. An opportunity to play my Tele.

Great stuff, thanks for your entry.
