The first gig of the year happened to be at a venue I was aware of but had never visited. Pealie’s Barn is tucked away just north of the middle of nowhere but is well worth the find. It is possibly one of the nicest-smelling venues, with hanging lavender, a working pizza oven and other incense and potions wafting on the breeze. The place has an excellent outside area complete with a stage, yet tonight, due to the cold, we were thankfully inside with a stage that was 8ft in the air, allowing a great view of tonight’s bands. Possibly the most incredible venue I will visit this year, especially…
