jakenewmanbass Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Nice one Rob, some very nice players amongst that list. I did a gig with Vasilis a couple of months ago. Quote

Also get the gigs in the gig guide.<p>This is just about within cycling range for me, so I can bike over if the weather is nice.<p>This is a Sunday gig - Lunchtime, evening or mid-afternoon? Quote
