APOLOGIES AND ANNOUNCEMENT 🐜🌑🖤🍺

It is with hugest last minute sorrys to not only our venue but also to YOU that there will be NO open mic night tonight.

I completely understand that I will have let some of you down with the lateness of this post, and I encourage you to stay for drinks and pizza and be creative with one another and have a big moan about my total error. I will release a more in depth statement soon about the future of Fleas on the whole.

Thank you endlessly for your patience and understanding 🍺🖤🌑🐜

Love and complete chaos always, Mama Flea x

It is with a heavy heart that tomorrow's Desperate Fleas mixed open mic at The Blue Moon is CANCELLED. Mama Flea has done the most chaotic thing yet and gone and broken her ankle 🫠

However, do still visit The Moon! Be creative and beautiful and eat Oscar's Pizzas and drink delicious beers! The room will not be reserved for Fleas but you know the pub is still the best ever so go write haikus about how lame it is of me to cancel with such little notice or something 🖤🌑🐜🍺

Love you lil ones. We'll be frolicking again soon. All further Fleas are NOT cancelled unless stated!
