Get Your Kicks

Our last Friday night session at Northlight! It’ll be Thursdays from now on – just like when we started out there back in the Inkwell days. We had a right old panic with sound when we were setting up – we couldn’t stop the speakers feeding back until Paul stepped in and lent us their mixer to add into the line. Why this very big sledgehammer cracked our particular walnut we are not really sure – but thanks for the help Paul! Great to have Colin along from Record Plant to ply his wares again too. It was another fine night with some lovely records played:
