I host the sessions in our UK based Brighton studio with friends from the industry and it’s always up-to-the-minute, relaxed and inspiring. This night in San Diego is going to take this across the pond, bringing us three British guys together for the first time to share what excites us, gets us creative, and turns us on. It’s going to be a buzzing night,” explains Woolley.
