The Longest Johns it was all top quality, well organised and just superb. Cannot wait to for #SoTFest2023

It was an amazing event start to finish. Everyone I spoke to was super nice. It also kinda may have increased my addiction to The Longest Johns music, hearing them live was something else! Getting to share that with my gamer friends too was perfect.
