God work is over. I need sleep and maybe some uber eats.

Tbh I'm still buzzing.

When I first got sober, the guy I lived with had a friend who ran open mic nights in Brunswick.

He got me to go along to watch and I ended up doing them for about a year every week. Was probably one of the few things that made me feel good about myself in those early days. Where you try to figure out who you are and what the hell normal life is supposed to be.

Once it was my birthday and they brought out a cake which was probably the happiest I'd been in more than 5ish years.

I stopped when I got into bands playing guitar again, and with Tafe and work, just stopped singing in general.

The band I was mainly concentrating on, and had an album recorded, gigs lined up etc died when lock downs happened.

Last night was a real big step back into live music. Thanks again everyone for all your support over the last 12ish months.

Means a hell of a lot ❤️

I'm really regretful that I didn't come. It sounds like you were amazing and that everyone had a lot of fun!

We surely did! Be there or be square! (showing my age here)

All good! I'll be going every 2nd week I reckon as it gives me time to learn new material. So if you ever feel like it, hit me up :)
