He continued: "To this day nothing gets me more excited than seeing heroes of the scene and future stars alike perform in the intimacy of Peckham Rye Park. Sharing gratitude with everyone who’s passed through GALA’s gates since our beginnings in Brockwell. We’re still alive, we’re still independent and we owe you all a lot. Thank you.”
