Can't do it this year, but my guest is the same, and we're actually sitting on another seat, actually. Well, you may be able to hear. Can you determine where we are? It's Hanoi in the background. You may be able to hear. We've got some chink of China cups.

What's great about the Belfry, and I know, full disclosure, obviously they sponsor the Planet Reigate podcast, but it's so fantastic that the Belfry is really part of the community. It's not just a shopping centre. It does seem to be such a kind of community hub. And also, you mentioned this performance space. It's right by the lifts. And when you had some performances this time last year...

And that's the great thing about art and the arts takeover, isn't it? That you are going out to take art to people who perhaps wouldn't have maybe gone through the doors at the Harlequin or to go to a performance and buy tickets and that kind of thing. Because you're also going to other spaces, church halls, pubs, places like that.

That's really interesting what you say. I hadn't thought about that. The same kind of people would go to a theatre, perhaps. But actually, if you've got something in a shopping centre, something in a pub, something in a church hall, something in a library, you're getting kind of different groups of people, aren't you? Which is really interesting.

And hopefully people who aren't going to be put off by the word arts, because arts is not all Shakespeare and ballet, is it?

Well, you mentioned the programme. What else is on the programme? You've mentioned some dancing, you've mentioned some photography and art. There must be a bit of music as well?

That's really loud, isn't it? It gets into your soul, into your body.
