On a similar note, I was at T in the Park many years ago and needed to poo, but couldn't find a single usable portaloo. So I shat in my friend's hat.

Standard morning coffee. Today, with sunshine.
I love it so much. Thanks,

for surprising me with it last year, not long after the Lichen Slow gig, to cheer me up.
Not because they were shite, but because they were awesome and I wanted to see them again and again.

Yes, thanks to everyone who’s watched or listened to us. It means a lot. Plenty more to follow. 👀
So our first tour is done and it was wonderful. Thank you to everyone who came to a gig, sang along, bought some merch and made us feel so welcome. Hopefully it won’t be long till we do it again! Thank you.
