Midsommar

It was nice of the sun to pop its head out finally – just in time for the summer solstice. Add to that the warm welcome that we received at The Vinyl Whistle and it all made for a lovely evening. Thanks to Adam (not Dan?) for looking after us so well. And what a fine place it is – combining the exciting and frankly dangerous possibilities of buying records and drinking beer!
