What do we have on today. Well today we have, we’re playing our regular live show, we’re back at The Muse. Uhhh. We don’t really know what the current regulations gonna mean for how we do the show. Because obviously lockdown we went entirely online we’ve been running this mixed online offline show for the past few months.

Physical spaces we need to keep afloat. And the other thing is it… it makes us more convinced that our strategy of collaborating with other small players, joining together to make something bigger than the whole… Stronger It’s stronger… pitty our government didn’t think about that when it came to Europe. Well, you know… Maybe it was our people?
