Picnic in the Sun – A Listening Party

Summer may be halfway done, but we’re not. We’re in love with long evenings, large amounts of booze and the laziness that seeps through being hot and sticky. In the tradition of all these seasonal delights, we’re hosting a little party in a park. It’ll be all kinds of lying around and lapping up the sun.

It’s all in aid of some special open-air, completely unplugged sets by:
