What a wonderful time we had in Wales at Blackwood Miners' Institute near Caerphilly with support from music social enterprise RecRock and Newport & Gwent Samaritans.

On a bench in Bracknell
It's important to sit on a park bench sometimes and just breathe.

Soundcheck in Bracknell
The set up and soundcheck is vital. Bob is a master at all the technical bits and we couldn't have done it without him.
