    Going to be a quiet-ish year. Only two festivals.

    Feb - Black Honey - Dublin

    April - Nordic Giants - Edinburgh

    June - Beyond the Pale

    July - Stendhal

    Probably some more small gigs there at some point but saving up for a big splurge in 27 with x4 festivals and 6 weeks traveling Norway/Sweeden again.

    I don't think so, but I saw the 2018 revival with Wendell pierce and I can't see anything touching that.

    EDIT: I am there, I'll check out prices, Laurie Metcalf dragging Bruce Willis to a semi decent performance was a miracle, intrigued to see her opposite someone talented.
