We’re having a blast at Inside Out! 💥
Our free open music day has been packed full of performances, crafting, instrument demos, gig-poster-making, showcases from our young musicians and flat-out fun.
This is why we love what we do! 🎵
Thanks for joining us everyone 🙏
A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4
So intrigued to see Meet Me In The Bathroom. As the 90s nostalgia train heads on down the track & the noughties service pulls in, gunna be weird seeing my own formative musical decade reflected back. I don’t abide all the navel gazing, but 12:51 is still sublime
