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 had such a lovely chat with @breakuphaircut who @marimindles has been championing on @getinherears for ages!
They may have also convinced me to learn an instrument (she says for the 1000th time) at @FirstTimersFest in the future...
Happy #DayOfTheGirl
"Music is such a joy. Everyone should be able to have access to it." 🎸
To help celebrate #DayOfTheGirl we caught up with the fab @breakuphaircut to talk about their #WOWSounds performance, @FirstTimersFest, their work/life balance & more!
