Thank you for the warm welcome as support yesterday at the sold out AB club in Brussels, celebrating the wonderful and very first BLUAI album; Save it For Later

Robin Kester and her band playing in a sold out club in Brussels. There’s a big crowd and in the background you see Robin and her band in a haze of purple and blue lights.

Blurry ☕️ Just got home after three weeks of having a clear life purpose. Any feel-good movie classics I should see to fill up the black hole I find myself in post-recording? PS Don’t worry, I wont allow myself more than a day or two to indulge in some wallowing ;)
