This week I am replaying the 20 Questions in 2 Minutes segment of the BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series from Episodes 38 Laurie Kennedy, 39 James Judd, 40 Rick Kent, 41 Rob Boundy, and 42 John Appleby. I realise that due to the length of some of the interviews that not everyone listens to this segment, so by compiling 5 guests interviews at a time, it makes it a short, fun episode for you to enjoy. I put a post on my BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series Facebook and Instagram pages last week to let everyone know that I am winding up Series 2, and to let our drummers know that they needed to contact me ASAP if they hadn't yet been interviewed and wanted to be a part of this series, and as a result I have had a few more come forward. While I am arranging to interview those guests I will continue to replay this segment from some of the previous interviews from Season 2.

Music: "Band It About" theme song was written and recorded for the BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series by Catherine Lambert and Michael Bryant.

The Governor Hindmarsh Hotel, referred to by everyone in Adelaide South Australia as The Gov, is one of Australia’s most enduring live music pubs. It is a home to everyone, no matter what their taste in music. For over 25 years the Tonkin family has provided a musical haven unlike no other, and unless it is thrown a lifejacket soon, this SA icon will become another victim of the Corona Virus. In this episode I discuss the reality of this situation with Richard Tonkin. #LoveTheGov #SaveTheGov Australians have been observing the restrictions, and social distancing measures which has resulted in a "sustained and consolidated flattening of the curve". Our lives have completely changed as we all do our bit to stop the spread and protect those most vulnerable. Banning ‘non-essential’ mass gatherings, a prudent move to minimise the spread of #COVID19, but one that nonetheless stands to devastate Australia’s live music industry. The impact of the Coronavirus and the health measures in place to limit its spread, in particular social distancing, is giving rise to unprecedented issues for businesses, performance venues are beginning to show the financial strain from their enforced closure. The Government’s economic response has failed to meet the immediate needs of small business. The ability to negotiate with lenders, defer repayments, apply for Grants, and access loans with deferred repayments is only delaying the inevitable closure . Small businesses need cash, and they need it NOW! Our government needs to be made aware of the impact of the virus on live music venues. We all need to lobby for immediate support and future recovery initiatives for venues, without our support there won't be any left once social restrictions have been removed. The Gov Needs You! Please feel free to message your suggestions to assist with Saving The Gov. I will update episode details, and my Band It About Facebook page with details regarding helping to save The Gov as they become available. Music intro and outro in this episode "Shut In The Shed", was written by Richard Tonkin.

Thanks for listening. Band It About - Proudly Supporting Live Music After releasing this episode, the Band it About podcast host Di Spillane wrote a petition to Save the Gov. She used the petition platform Change.org to launch the petition and within days this petition gathered a huge response. The petition went viral with significant support from everyone who had been to or performed in this Adelaide icon. The plan was to gather enough signatures to make an impact prior to personally delivering the petition to the SA State Government. Di set a target of 10,000 signatures, it had reached 9 and a half thousand signatures when the State Government rescued The Gov by providing a grant of $310,000. As a result of this Di took down the petition prior to reaching the initial goal. This is a perfect example of just how dedicated and passionate the host of this podcast series is about Live Music here in her hometown of South Australia. #lovethegov

Julian Perrotta joins me in The Engine Room this week to discuss his musical journey for the BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series. Julian was born in South Australia and was first inspired to play the guitar as his father played. He soon discovered that he preferred drums and he received his first set of drums when he was around the age of 11. His first drum teacher was Jamie Adams who was someone that his dad knew through his local church. When Julian was in year 10 he began to have lessons again and by year 12 realised that this was what he wanted to do for a career. When he was about 16 or 17, Julian put together his first band who were called the 'New City Royals', the band did a mix of popular covers as well as some of their own original material. Julian currently performs with the original Melbourne rock band 'Vermantics', who recorded and produced their second album last year entirely from the confines of the Melbourne lockdown. Vermantics present the The Volume Collection is a collection of music created from the lounge-rooms of a band that just could not wait any longer for the studio to reopen! Julian has recently replaced Danny Leo on the throne for the 'Zep Boys', and also plays with 'Smile Pepper', 'Day Drive', 'Fighting For Everlong the Australian Foo Fighters Show', 'FIVE against ONE Australian Tribute to the music of Pearl Jam', and when required, the Rocket Rob Trio. Julian recently recorded a few songs and film clips with the original Adelaide band 'From Scratch', does a lot of fill in gigs with other local bands, and teaches drumming at his own business 'JP Drums & Percussion'.

Music: Intro "Band It About" theme song, written and recorded by Catherine Lambert and Michael Bryant. Outro "Mortality" written and recorded by Vermantics.
