The set is just starting to go up in B2 - here’s a picture of how it looks so far. This is The Austin’s back garden on the Canley Park Estate where much of the action takes place. You can also see where the band will be throughout the show.

“I’ve spent most of the week learning bass guitar root notes with The Ripps. We’re running the whole play with them tomorrow then we’ll be in the recording studio on friday! We’re all very nervous but excited too as it’s only a week and a half until we open!”
