Wow wow wow, what a night!😮

When #BrassedOffLive was cancelled 2 years ago we truthfully didn’t know whether live music would ever be the same again.

After 3 roaring standing ovations we can confirm that it was a very emotional experience!

When people think of Daves work, they think of his pioneering aviation works first.Less so his social commentary pieces. Visit @swindonopen in sept to see more.
