The P Word Sessions May 2022: Not Exactly Normal But Then We Never Were!

It’s all going down Sunday May 1st at 4pm, it’s at the sparkly new Motley Bauhaus located at 118 Elgin st Carlton, it’s still only $5 on the door with all that scratch going to our top flight features.  And who are they…….?

Ross Donlon  &  Es Foong

Bios below but if you don’t know you bloody well should. They rock. They roll. They wail.

Anth is gonna be lone wolf on this one as Amanda is off sharing her own dazzling art so on top of all the other reasons (Ross, Es, the open), come see how confuddled and bambuzzled it gets as Anth attempts to herd you wild creatures on his oddy knocky.
