Runnin Riot Preview Show

I had the real and honest pleasure of being invited along to the Daring Rehearsal Studios in Belfast to hear Belfast punk band Runnin Riot preview tracks from the forthcoming CD release. A cracking, straight ahead, pedal to the metal four piece that never disappoint. Lots of Oi, some ska and a healthy serving of Buckie make it an evening to remember.

In between prepping the family Xmas dinner and cleaning the house, I came across a bottle of the infamous Buckfast tonic wine, drink of choice for the young and the desperate. The fact that this rather lethal concoction (15%) is really made by the Benedictine Monks of Buckfast Abbey never ceases to amuse me. Having just taken delivery of a set of miniature monks, the rest, as they say, was history.

On a slightly different tack, I'd like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and can't wait to see who got a new camera from Santa. Happy snapping folks, happy snapping!
