We're back at The King & Queen on Tuesday 2 July (on a different day to normal to avoid clashing with The Football) with Kriss Foster, My Favourite Andy, and FakeDaveGreen '80s Synth Sing-along (feat Denmark Massive).

AND FINALLY
In these difficult times we can all benefit from EXPERIMENTAL ART, and there is NO art more experimental than 'Mute Nostril Agony', The Durham Ox Singers album featuring acapella versions of The Hits Of The Avant Garde which has FINALLY been unleashed onto download sites. Full details HERE:

And that's MORE than enough for this month - thanks for listening and see you next time!

Cheers,

Mark
