A CISU Blues Festival at the SCC Social Club, Ipswich, Suffolk - 27th November 2004

At work in Cambridge, Qualcomm is refitting the former Trigenix's IT infrastructure, which includes all of its laptops. That means around 40 laptops in a room all installing Windows at the same time. Then, following a night at the Ipswich Blues mini-festival at the County Council's social club, it's time to hang out around Andrew and Heidi's, and then mill around Ipswich for a bit. There are a few repeat-ish photos of the social club scene, but there aren't that many that really show off the 1960s/70s glory of the place, which was demolished in the summer of 2022.
