Saturday at the Barbican Weekender was lovely in the end. Day time gigs where people are likely to wander in and out can be a bit strange but despite the massive age range and casual nature of the audience we pretty much managed to hold on to everyone from beginning to end, sell some […]

Surrealism Weekender at Barbican
We are playing at the Barbican on the 24th July as part of their surrealism weekend. Performance artist Tai Shani is on later that day so it’s worth hanging about as she is excellent.
