Mathematics tour – Optus stadium Perth

What was the last live performance you saw? Ed Sheeran…… Loved it!! I also saw him in 2018 for the Divide tour. I thought he was great then, but this was better. Ed has matured, refined his trade, relaxed and grown into an all around talent…… as well as just a nice, humble guy. It […]
