Round 2 at the V&A Dundee tonight.

Left the camera at home so here's some phone pics of @sparesnare.bsky.social and the Grand Gestures.

The Grand Gestures and @sparesnare.bsky.social gig at Dundee’s V&A 8/7/25.

Absolutely great stuff.

Here’s a photo of the man behind it all.

It's always nice to know someone, somewhere gets what we do.

"Those of us lucky enough to have attended either of the shows can take consolation from the certain knowledge that we won’t see anything better live this year."

Thank you @sparesnare.bsky.social #TheBrutal
