Re: BEST ALLDAYER/ ALL NIGHTER, WEEKENDER, EVENT, ETC
Some great postings,I agree when you first go to your soul gig you either love it and you live your life like that or you don't. I would say the First Purley Alldayer got me really into it, and knew I would not miss another one.
Anyone going to Caister next week if so see you there.
