Factor B - Live from Ravenation, Helsinki 26.9.20
So many things had to go right for this show to happen.
And I'm so grateful it did, 2020 has been a tough year for touring artists, so having the opportunity to play to a crowd was quite special.
Socially distanced, limited capacity, but lots of that #propertrance energy for my debut in Finland!
Huge thanks to the team at Ravenation for making this show happen!!
Enjoy! BB
