yes yeah absolutely now that's that's fantastic so let's dive back a bit um so obviously slightly different backgrounds obviously within drinks so uh let's start antosh if you could kind of give us a bit of an overview of your uh your previous history that'd be amazing please

all right well my sort of um music and drinks has intertwined a lot throughout my kind of life and uh I got fascinated with bars from an early age, from collecting matchboxes.

So when I got old enough to go to them, I'd just want to go to different bars all the time and then collect these matchboxes.

And they're usually in the nicest bars.

So that's kind of where that little bit of a journey started.

I ended up working for Bacardi Brown Foreman and working with different bars, account managing them.

do it like really appreciating like the craft like you know that what goes into like a bottle of Woodford Reserve you know like the nuances between different experiences and like sitting there at times like tasting 20 different gins next to each other or like 10 different bourbons or you know the story of rum and all those kind of things so it really sort of got into my head like music wise and why I always wanted to open up a bar was um I used to put on music nights, I used to book clubs when I was from the age of like 17, book clubs and book DJs and sell tickets.

yes
