Bands & Acts: Please submit your gig promos. Your music is your business, you need to get as much exposure as possible, don’t rely on venues to promote you! Most of those FB posts by venues only have a few likes, if any at all, and it’s always the same few people over and over, so obviously these posts are not reaching many people. DigameXtra sends out over 4200 email issues everyday to subscribers, and the website gets another 800 visits per day. That is far better exposure than you are getting in any FB posts!!! Entertainers get to post their shows for free as long as they are subscribed to this newsletter. What are you waiting for? Image:dgim-studio/Freepik

Portugal & Greece extend travel restrictions: Portugal on Sunday extended restrictions on travel via land and sea to Spain that had been due to end this weekend until April 15. Nationals from Britain, Brazil and South Africa – where more contagious coronavirus variants were first detected – or any country with an infection rate above 500 cases per 100,000 people must quarantine for 14 days if they have entered via the land border, the statement said.
Meanwhile, Greece said on Sunday it was extending restrictions on domestic flights until April 12 and on international flights until April 19 as the number of new infections there continues to rise.

NASA’s Mars helicopter Ingenuity touches down on the Red Planet: The first helicopter on Mars is officially on Martian soil. NASA’s Mars helicopter Ingenuity touched down on the surface of the Red Planet after being dropped by its mother ship, the Perseverance rover, the space agency announced late Saturday (April 4). The helicopter’s first flight is just over a week away. Weighing in at just 4 lbs. (1.8 kilograms), Ingenuity is a tiny, solar-powered helicopter that relies on a rechargeable battery to keep its systems warm during the harsh Martian night. Photo: NASA/JPL-Caltech.
