Just a note about the Overheard Productions gig. Culturazi gig guide listed the first support as ‘One Foot in the Gravy’, however, that was an earlier, tentative booking.

Mea culpa for sending the update in at the last minute. But do get behind the Sodapops, a group of energetic youngsters getting a bit of a bigger stage.
