24hrs ago I was enjoying this great talk @leedslitfest.bsky.social with Si Smith and @markmosedale.bsky.social about their new book, GIGS! hannah-mccann.co.uk/2026/06/15/g...

Sketched capture from a live talk with Si Smith and Mark Mosedale, the interviewer was from the venue, Chapel FM but I didn't catch their name. There is a lot of snatched convo floating around them, and in front of them is a slightly messy looking table with microphone wires, books and water containers spread around.
