Love @FirstTimersFest and all that they do!
I went to the bass workshop & festival last year & it was brilliant.
If you're nervous about learning to play an instrument, this is the best place to start trying 💜

Great to do something non-🌹 related once in a blue moon (I believe that's still allowed 👀) at the @FirstTimersFest watching my v.talented friend Sophie on the drums (for the 1st time!) with band Tiny Jean Pocket! They all did a switcheroo to the guitar & sang -multitalented!!👏

I'll be at the gig on Sunday. Grab a ticket & come and say hello. x
Omg look at our gorg poster if that doesn't make you want to come to the fest I don't know what will!
Dear Diary,
Today we released tickets to First Timers Fest. We haven't been able to put it on for a few years and, well, we have fifteen brand new bands playing and we're excited.
Yours, FTF team xoxo

First Timers band @breakuphaircut are releasing new music tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited!
Today feels like a good day to play lots of @breakuphaircut 👀
We adore their debut EP (released through the much missed Hell Hath No Fury) & totally fell for Why Can't I Be Cool Enough To Move To Berlin? Anyone else love this?
