The packed house at this lovely friendly and intimate venue were treated to a relaxed but superb evening. The band played a selection of material from their albums and included several requests from the audience, making this a unique evening. Space had been left in front of the stage for dancing and this was used enthusiastically for several of the up tempo numbers. Altogether a brilliant night out; thank you Paperboys.
