Gig Buddies Bristol

Our amazing buddies Larry and Helen recently celebrated their two year Gig Buddy anniversary. Thanks to Komedia Bath for always making them feel so welcome on Sunday afternoons.

Larry initially joined Gig Buddies as he wanted a buddy to see Irish folk gigs with, now him and Helen have seen all sorts of music, from jazz to rock and one week there was a Didgeridoo! Thank you Larry and Helen for this lovely photo.
