#22 Heidi
It is true you started in Harrogate? I went to college there and it’s so awesome that a famous band is from my home town. I’ll be at the front in Leeds, just look for me, I’ll be the one with the banner, I’ve been making it for ages and it’s really big and has Bens name on it.
Thanks for a great comment! We have spent a lot of time rehearsing in Harrogate but we started in London. We can’t wait for tour, see you at Leeds, come say hi after the show :)
