That was so great to get into Streatham Hill Theatre tonight to watch Brixton Chamber Orchestra put on a fabulous gig @streathamhillt.bsky.social Oh My Gosh - Streatham needs this kind of thing so badly - it's crazy that this beautiful space isn't a hub of community activity. Felt so right tonight!
