The Malvern Town Hall concert may have been great, and Intangible Asset No. 82 was undoubtedly an asset, but I reckon we had the best of it with the double bill at Chapel Off Chapel. Time prevents me posting a review at this stage — life is getting in the way — so for the moment I am posting some pics from each set.
