A rare night out with my friend @dannydeathdisco.bsky.social and his lovely daughter last night to enjoy some vintage
Mancunian song smithery

Good to cuddle, shout into each other's ears in between songs, and laugh at the sheer volume of punters relentlessly squeezing past us to the toilet or bar

"‘People Person’ gave me #tinnitus. We were playing it a lot in a rehearsal. I woke up the next day and I was basically in the kind of Trent Reznor remix that not even a high-budget Netflix show could make bearable "

We have been deep in the writing for the next film score for a while now, and I'm glad to say we are still laughing.
