Ford Cottage Pre-Christmas, Barton on Sea, Hampshire - 19th December 1985

'Twas the week before Christmas - or thereabouts, and there's a bit of a get-together in Ford Cottage. Then, it's round and about to Sean's - for a session of quality discount bitter, Cinzano and a spot of guitar - and then Jon's, with a bit of Hamish too. There are also some scans of slides that Hamish found in 2025, including his birthday - just a few days before Christmas.

Soundtrack for this album:
