Hey Tamara, i enjoyed the gig the other night... Here's that review from the 2009 February issue of Limelight... there is a slight chance that i may have gone on a retro trip with some Eurythmics, it may have been a little early in the morning, tris.
Hey really glad to be on board Tamara and looking forward to hearing Round House live in the not too distant future if all goes well! Leith in South Oz
