The Heart May Or May Not Go On

Presented by Taylor Nobes: 

Have you ever been so f**ked over by life that you have felt as if your heart may not actually go on? Have you ever wondered why so many people are out to get you, only to realise that YOU might actually be the problem?

After a life changing diagnosis Taylor, with the help of Samuel Lau, will reflect on life so far to try and make sense of the chaos through dark comedy, storytelling and original songs.

No one is safe, not even her... 

★★★★★ "Nobes as a peformer is a force to be reckoned with" - GWAC (Music & You -2022)
