Thanks to Ewan of the Voodoo Rooms for booking us and to Tom for producing one of the best onstage sound balances we’ve had in a wee while.

The event also features live sets . . . → Read More: Hogmanay So, it seems that our big November support slot has now been confirmed! We’re supporting The Five Corners Quintet (www.thefivecornersquintet.com) on Sunday November 16th, 8pm, in the Voodoo Rooms.
