    Hi, just been browsing your web site and found pictures of our band busking on College Green in August – thought I’d let you know I am the one with the pink hair!! And incidentally the web-link that leads to a band website is not us, we are based in East Bristol not Leicester but a nice surprise to see us playing all the same – Thanks.

  2. site admin ( mr_hopkinson ) says:

    Thanks Sarah – do you have a ( correct! ) website that we can link to?

    🙂

    Hi, sorry, only just came on your site again, at the moment the band have no website, we are trying to change that, but are having problems at the moment, will let you know if we ever succeed.

    sarah, hair still pink
