More... |
|
Time: 13:00 Somehow we managed to bongo, sombrero and imposter-o our way to the acoustic battle of the bands final. Thus another heart-warming night of acoustic rendering will take place in the Graduate with no attached entry fee. You could even spend the money you save on our latest EP. Or maybe even the previous one, the choices are endless. |
