from being a performer on the stage. I'm not sure
how much attention you're paying whilst you're doing what you're
doing to the crowd out there. But the crowds into
mid twenty twenty three that we're heading towards very quickly. Now,
are they reminiscent of how people were reacting in the
crowd in twenty nineteen pre covid or Is it does
like a new excitement that people are allowed to get
out and just go and enjoy live music again.
