A brilliant, bizarre, and utterly British night out. With four distinct and talented acts, this was more of a mini-festival than a gig. Every performer was on top form, making for a truly memorable evening at the Voodoo Rooms. Highly recommended.

Review: Landy’s, a smart fish & chips restaurant on North Bridge
Landy’s on North Bridge serves up good fish and chips in a sit-down restaurant with a bar. It’s a great city centre choice, especially during busy times when you can grab a drink while you wait for a table. A solid meal in a prime location.
