Hello,
No waffly verbals from me this week because I have promised my partner I won’t spend the first day of a week off doing what amounts to ‘work’.
Here’s the email I post out to the artists after the show verbatim.
Back to the bollocks next week, no doubt.
Profound thank you / diolch yn fawr iawn for your interest and support, as always.
