Sunday 27th May 2012

Hop Leaf, Reading, RG1 2QZ

Boho at The Hop open-mic hosted by Rob Sowden


Artist-wise it was a quiet night last night, I think perhaps people were out making the most of the sun. However it was good to see Richard and Sarah Lucus with Muz of Dolly and The Clothes Pegs fame perform again.
