WH Lung Bristol Strange Brew 20.11.24 With the new album making it three back-to-back classics, the gig was never gonna disappoint. My fave band to emerge in the last ten years or if you'll indulge me, to emerge during the ten years I was worked on my debut book. Superb. @melodicrecords.bsky.social
