Our past livestreams are all still available on YouTube. Links below.
For the very first series (before 12/9/20) fast forward 10 mins to cut to the action as we started with a long slide show of past events and some background music to allow us to monitor and perfect the audio signal.
After 12/9/20, as we got technically more confident, so the intro is much shorter and has an onscreen countdown.
