PICTISH TRAIL – IN ROOMS VINYL NOW IN STOCK

Johnny very kindly dropped off 25 copies of his new album on Saturday afternoon. I’m sure he won’t mind me nicking the blurb from the Fence website.

THE ONLY FUN IN TOWN

 There wasn’t too much on over Christmas but for many the Picture House on the 29th was the only place to be. For most the crowd was a collection of familiar faces for a variety of reasons and by the time the Scars came on the place was so busy you could see people […]

TOP 20 FOR 2010 WILL BE A TOP 30 !

Top 20 has been readjusted slightly allowing for sales after Christmas.
