Hello, how are you?

A large number of things to get through this week! I will start off with a list of competitions and giveaways before getting to the news.

ALAN MCKIM will be performing live in the Brass Monkey from 4pm this coming Friday. It would be great if you could come along and check him out, a lot better than watching some wedding!
