Spirit in the Sky for The Open Arms
Retelling of The Little Match Girl for 2021.
The Open Arms is an online project by Sally O'Reilly: "The Open Arms unbolted its doors when all other pubs closed theirs. It is a focus for and record of locked-down conviviality. Dive in for a swift sharpener or settle down to a hearty session. Turn the music up or off, avoid anyone you don't like the look of. The place is yours. And better still - everything is on the house."Notes on a Collection
