Pre-lockdown, playing football, gym, out with friends and during lockdown lying on the sofa

I don't feel nervous more an adrenaline rush, I like to be on my own before going on stage and not having to engage with people
HOW DID YOU FORM THE BAND? I formed the band from my mom and dads pub, we all knew each other and it was an uneasy fit
HOW DO YOU WRITE? - DO YOU HAVE A KEY SONGWRITER, OR DO YOU ALL WORK
