Hi. Claire Cousin (Two Magpies Celebrant) here. Loving the podcast. I listened to them from newest to oldest. Great info for educating people as to what’s possible. Loving your work. I work in Cardiff and two of my FDs are Independents but the appetite for more off piste services is yet to be truly whetted by the population as yet I think. Another reason for me messaging though was to say thank you for introducing me to Dream Theater. I just loved that music!!! So theatrical and rocky and emotive. Love it. Claire x
