A huge thank you to the Bendigo Writers Festival, and to the terrific technical crew at the lovely Capital Theatre who had us up and running very smartly. (You got six foldback speakers? Yep. Five vocal mics? Yep. A drum riser? Yep. A grand piano? Sure.)

People tell me this was the Best Thing at the Festival. Could be true.
Life feels almost normal again now Stereo Stories is back on the road! I’m looking forward to seeing you all at The Substation.
Good work. Hopefully more festival gigs will come.
Hope to catch up in Albury.
