Haven't seen you live yet as you haven't come to CANADA yet - speaking of which Happy Canada Day (today's our birthday!). Have been enjoying Graham's blogs though - food for thought: our £1 shops are actually 52p (when you factor in the exchange). Tasty thought eh?

This band blew my mind!!!! one of my favourite Instrumental bands, the dynamics of this band are insane, had the whole crowd in silence in suspense only to then blow them away. amazing stuff guys, having the opportunity to see you in such a secluded venue, , was awesome, and the tolbooth night wasnt bad also.

hope y'all keep in touch now.
p.s. did you guys check out scale the summit like i said, check em out.
