Excited to be playing in Battle, East Sussex this evening for ELF (Every Last Friday). It's a marathon gig - 3 sets across 3 venues at one end of town. Another 3 acts will be doing 3 sets at venues on the other side of town. Quite a thing. Thought I'd try it :) I start at 7pm in Sarah's Cellar...😱

Hello Blue Sky community! I have just got here :) Please introduce yourselves - I might know a few of you already. I'm a gigging musician so that's my main interest. If you are too, or are a venue / promoter, then maybe this is a good place to all hook up for all our benefits... :)
