Spread the word! Hide Sites We are playing a wee private gig in Kelburn Castle next weekend (www.kelburnestate.com). It’ll be the third time we’ve played there and we’ve had a great time on each occasion. Some of you may remember that we were due to play at their ‘Garden Party’ last year but the event had to be cancelled . . . → Read More: Kelburn Graffiti Project The positive hits just keep on coming.
