Favourite:-
Song to play live: Lighthouse and In Time
Gig you’ve played: Played a gig in a small dingy place in Sydney with one of my old bands, and I ended up taking over guitar for the headlining band on the night because he couldn’t be bothered playing the final song and wanted to mosh. So i learned the last song in the green room with the other guitarist 10 mins before they went on. So much fun!

Gig you’ve been to: Wintersun in Melbourne 2017 (oh look, Orpheus Omega supported that one…)
