Kes’s Conscience
*Please read in your most sarcastic voice, otherwise this really doesn’t work* It’s all my fault. I’m Kes. (Hi.) I was at university in Brighton, 19 years old, thinking “I’ve written lots of songs – I should play them”, so I got in touch with Bran – who, inexplicably, offered to play bass instead of drums despite being a drummer […]
