Hovingham, and eating it
Clive belts us in and forces us to listen to Count Arthur Strong until we are weak with hilarity and in dire need of assistance from St Ann’s Jombulance. The Blessmobile follows a chain of Ms. Our in-depth survey of Europe’s service stations continues with Tamworth (4.3 on the Max Richter scale). We while away the miles knitting, basket-weaving, and lino-cutting.

Pressure Point, Brighton + The Cavern, Exeter
10/11 Feb, 2008

Long meal meant we missed both support acts (sorry guys). read more »
