@HandTBristol @RobertGarnham @LivTorc The acts got free chips at @Funkenteleky too and they were the best chips ever. Everything about Funkenteleky made me want to go back: the band, the chips, the venue, the people and - most of all - the disco that happened afterwards.

Sunday discussion: I know we're all missing live gigs right now, so this is bittersweet, but what is the single nicest/most welcoming thing that a spoken word night has done that's made you think, "Yes! I want to go back!"?

For those lost, Shaun Hill offers these kind, soft words. Alicia, Ben, Dave and Billy bathe them in replenishing sound. In the world we face right now, a beautiful reminder that we do so together. 'Now there is an after in you / tomorrow must be gentler' youtu.be/6gd9mf5eu3c
