Consuming a bracingly strong café sat outside looking at the stars listening to some great Brizzle jazz from Get the Blessing. Bugs in Amber still my favourite. Seen them so many times over the years in many different venues - never fail to delight. Do not appear often enough on this thread. CD rip via HiRes player.
