"It’s an absolute dream come true for us to host this event in my hometown (now city!) 5 minutes from where I grew up and where Folded Wing is now based. If I could of seen something like this when I was growing up here it would of been everything.
I’m so excited for people to see Fabio & Grooverider in Southend with the full Outlook Orchestra. It really is a completely unforgettable experience. "
