Nostalgia for updates?
Yeah, yeah, I’ve still not fixed the linkposts, and I’ve had nothing else to post for a while. Sorry folks. In the meantime, why not have a look at some nice videos from the interwoobertrons?

WRECKTHEPLACEFANTASTIC debut show – Fri 28th Nov.
My band, Wrecktheplacefantastic, has its first gig next Friday 28th November.
