Highlight Of The Year

Seeing the return of the Yours & Owls Festival (from a distance) was nice! I can only imagine the stress and anxiety that went on behind the scenes at Yours & Owls to put on a two-day music festival while trying to comply with the ever-changing rules and regulations the government set out for them.    

Prediction For Next Year

Given the year that's been, it's tempting to leave this section blank or write a cynical "hahahaFuckKnowshaha" kind of response... so I will!
