Hey, I wrote this! So pleased to be making by debut in VAN Magazine. Thanks so much to @mbetteridge.bsky.social for his time last week.

Our wonderful @mbetteridge.bsky.social has started a stunning arrangement of Strawberries & Cigarettes by Troye Silvan for a gig later in year!

What better spot than Social Refuge in Manchester to have a little road test of this amazing song!

Tell us what you think!

We’re very pleased to welcome the much-in-demand composer and conductor Michael Betteridge!

For him “composing music is about storytelling and fostering connection” @mbetteridge.bsky.social
