January 2016: Gig Reviews

We stuffed ourselves with some great music over the first four & half weeks of 2016, and what treats we heard.
All the gigs were well attended especially the first three (all 100+), some very nice reviews as well, and a selection of those can be accessed here:

Didn’t have anyone reviewing the Andy Sheppard “Hotel Bristol” gig but Bryan Angelinetta took a nice snap during the gig
