Live Review + Photo Gallery: Dark Mofo Festival – Sleaford Mods, The Odeon, 09.06.2023
As part of the esteemed, annual Dark Mofo Festival here in Hobart, I came to this gig not really knowing what to expect of a live performance from these champions of the UK working class, and how that may translate to a non-UK audience.
