We are getting ready for Manchester! Can’t wait to do our first gig with Verbose Manchester

It's also incredibly funny, full of gorgeous, swooping language and surprising animal facts. A beaut.

Gboyega Odubanjo's loved ones are running the Hackney Half Marathon. We sadly lost Gboyega too soon, but to honour him, they’ll be running 20+ kilometres in one of his favourite places of all time: Hackney (where he was born)
