This week we're finally looking forward to the summer, the sun is out, new tours to look forward to and the festival season is on the horizon. There really is nothing like a couple of days away from it all with an abundance of music to choose from is there? Hope to see some of you in a field, somewhere, sometime soon :)
Godzilla Blues - Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
New York Johnny - Bombshell Rocks - City Rats and Alley Cats
