If you wanna feel some ‘Sweet Vibrations’ it’s all here.
What are the 3 most memorable live gigs you’ve played?
Parklife Mainstage Manchester 2015 – one of the first gigs my parents came to!
My own headline show at Hoxton Bar & Grill!
Boardmasters 2021 – the first gig back after lockdown and having a baby!

I think music goes round in circles and maybe in 50 years time we will be listening to techno at 170bpm or slow waltzing music. As long as there’s good dancefloor music I’ll be happy.
