Music Is My Boyfriend
Hello Rita, Sue and Bob too. Plus everyone else not blessed with those names. I hope lots of you were at The GS on Saturday because even though 3 bands pulled out, making it all a massive stress for yours truly, the bands who did come were ace and it was a top, top night. Onto this week and we have all sorts including Rory Eliot who in number 1 in the South African charts on Wednesday wouldn't you know. Also, Friday sees Music Is My Boyfriend's electronic mash up which has been the Guardian pick 2 months in a row now. Please note that we will be closed on bank holiday Monday until the late evening.
