Kaleidoscope – Alexandra Palace

Going to a festival during a pandemic may seem a strange choice. But if life is to get back to ‘normal’ then attending an event outside is part of the journey – plus you have to show proof you’ve been double jabbed.

Whilst the others leave, Rodolfo remains but is interrupted by a young lady needing a light for...
