With a huge thank you to The Royal Sutton Town Council for funding this series, as well as to the CBSO and Holy Trinity for their in-kind support.

A big mashup! Psychotron, the local record shop on Boldmere, were desperate to hold a gig, following a dreadful Covid period – so they hosted this live gig (with a real audience and everything) at Saint Michaels Boldmere.
With performance from Jobe Sullivan and Carrie Martin – a singer- songwriter who travelled from hull. Carrie has a multitude of albums and this was her first live gig after lockdown.
