No one is more excited than us to put a line under 2024/25 and go again next year. It’s been a season to forget. But something that can make it more memorable is an excellent end of season review show, so Jules, Jord, Tom, and Swindle got themselves to the Portland, poured themselves a big glass of misery, and pressed record. Part One features a month-by-month look over the season, a look back on our pre-season predictions, and a tribute to Tom Youngs.We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge.
