Im trying to get out of my comfort zone here, I have suffered from a crippling performance anxiety my entire life that has always kept myself locked away in bedrooms intead of out on stages. Hyper critical on myself, and have a perfect ear. Anyway hoping to move forward, maybe with some live videos next, instead of hiding behind the record button

Another cold night in NQ, for a change though the fish were on the bite, a couple dropped a 80s model and a 68cm caught by Jamie. Things were really kicking off as we were packing up for work around 11pm.
