How long has it been since I was in SF? So long I can’t even remember! Really looking forward to playing, singing, and catching up with everyone there… I’ll be delving into the Leishman Songbook archives as well as hopefully airing new ones, plus the odd Brechtian and/or music hall digression. Many thanks to the fabulous Beth Custer for hosting this.
