United States10 months ago - Why Didn’t I Do This Review Sooner?
My mate recommended this to me ages ago and I nodded at him as I always do and then as I always do I took an age to get onto what he was recommending.
Then I also took an unwarranted further age to pay respect to the people making the thing.
I’m a music business tutor and have been pushing this show on all my students, it’s absolutely ace and such a great way to understand the culture.
Keep making the things you make.
Thank you!
