The Glad Cafe are delighted to welcome back A NEW INTERNATIONAL with special guests HEIST.

Some words from Biff:

Shows, two of. Boom boom.

April, to TS Eliot, was the cruellest month. April, for Edna St Vincent Millay, was not enough. I disagree. April, to me, feels like forgiveness. And that is certainly enough. More than enough actually and, if I am being honest, more than I was expecting. So, we’re throwing a party. Two actually, and with some very special guests. We’d like to invite you, weather permitting of course, to our first full band shows in three years. Much has happened in the meantime: events dear boy, events; and some events, oddly enough, of the good variety. There are new tales to tell and new songs to sing. So, if you’re free and feeling a little reckless and gay, come out to play. Let’s all have a marvellous time. Twice.

This poem is dedicated to everyone who comes to the shows; to everyone who comes and goes to all and any shows.

Ode to the Audience (in the time of the great pestilence)

And if we play, will you come? Will it be like before?
Or different this time? Yes, different, I think.
Definitely different.

Playing a show, like throwing a party, is a leap of faith of sorts.
Will we fly or will we fall? Will we fall and crash and burn? Well then, if we fall, let the arc be graceful, if we crash, may it be into a million shining pieces, if we burn then let it be brightly and just long enough to light up a room but what if, what if, you and I, this time, we fly?

There is no before, at least, not anymore. There is now. And after? After, we will see what is still standing.
