Haven’t been posting much in here lately but have been very busy. One recent endeavour has been running this new event twice a month. Here you can download recordings of the first two events. SKRONK is an open mic night for improvising musicians. We have feature acts each time and so far it’s been amazing, below are links to the facebook page and the bandcamp where the albums are released.
