A Good Night Out in the Valleys 2

I remember going to a Radio One roadhsow in Porthcawl and it must have been around 1984. I can't remember much about it, who was on the bill… Continue

Final Update: Wardrobe Diaries video link

https://www.youtube.com/user/citrusarts#p/a/u/0/hTjAq2XZtzE" target="_blank">

These clips are from my low budget HD camera, and my edit programme cost me 20 quid.

For those of that couldn't make it to see the show, I hope this gives you a flavour of what we made, this time around.
