Last night I did a gig with Navaro at an amazing venue, deep in the Essex countryside.
Called The High Barn, it’s an 800 year old grain barn that has been lovingly restored into a high class venue, whilst also incorporating a recording/graphic design/IT consultancy studio complex – and all in the tiny Essex village of [...]
