The next Anti-Sell Story in our series is from an old uni buddy of mine! Joe and I met when we were both students at Lancaster University, back in… *checks dates* …a long time ago! 😅 We were both involved with the live music society, the student radio station, and just generally within the city’s gigging scene (Joe plays a mean bass guitar, FYI).
