Over the last few weeks i’ve been working with the very talented Freear on our aforementioned musical collaboration, and it’s resulted in a brand new live band called Slamboree!
I should make clear that the road to Slamboree didnt start with our musical collaboration. My own inspirations started from our 1st project x presents …
